While it was previously placed in Diochini, it differs markedly from Diochus in the broad and strongly trapezoidal head (though with an exceptionally narrow neck, as in Diochus), broad pronotum, and a generally parallel-sided body. It further differs from all Staphylininae in having a cylindrical abdomen without paratergites [39]. Based on its distinctiveness, the genus was recently placed in its own subfamily by Żyła and Solodovnikov [21].
