This new genus highlights from other related ones by its short tegmina; unusual for the tribe Copiphorini, and only present in three neotropical genera: Toledopizia, Brachycaulopsis and Daedalellus, being closer to the first one.

Keywords: Orthoptera, Copiphorini, Copiphora, Toledopizia, brachypterous, Central America
