Comments.

Type in Hamburg museum lost (Wood and Bright 1992).Most features characteristic of Webbia (elongated pronotum, suppressed scutellum), unrelated to type species of Taphrodasus: Pseudowebbia percorthylus ((Schedl, 1935): Hulcr & Cognato, this volume). Similar to Webbia divisus, except declivity with long, dense, erect setae, not scales.
