Type, Pijgidkrana frontalis, Kirby. 



This genus differs from the preceding in the almost rectangular 

 pronotum, and the broad penultimate ventral segment of the male 

 distinguishes it from Cranopygia. It contains about half a dozen 

 little-known African species, and also a few Oriental ones. The 

 single known Indian species has strong affinities with Cranopygia 

 in the form of the last dorsal segment and of the forceps, but the 

 broad penultimate ventral segment of the male makes it necessary 

 to place it here. It is unlike the other members of the genus in 

 appearance.
