This genus was the first genus recognized as a pselaphid aggregate, and 

 historically, therefore, is of great importance. Obviously it is highly specialized, 

 and far from the norm of the family. Out of more than eighty species of 

 Pselaphus, distributed over the entire world, the Western Hemisphere is poorly 

 represented, with five species in the United States and a single species of the 

 Amazon drainage basin in Brazil.

 Raffray (1908, 1908a, 1911) 



The remaining genus of neotropical Pselaphini is restricted to the area, 

 extending from Guatemala to Argentina. It is closely allied to Pselaphus. 

 No ke}^ is attempted as I am unfamiliar with the genus save for a single species.
