A New World genus that is rare in South Africa. Included here based on two individuals taken in the Western Cape.

Malar space and ventral clypeal margin with distinct conical protuberances. Notauli absent. Parascutal impression incomplete. Setal band at base of syntergum of metasoma complete. Superficially similar to Nordlanderia, but readily distinguished based on notauli being absent and the hairy ring of syntergum present; most similar to the New World genus Banacuniculus Buffington, but separated by the presence of two distinct tubercles anterior of the scutellar glandular pit (surrounded by a series of tubercles in Banacuniculus).
