Type species: Alocodesmus alatus Carl, 1914 View in CoL , by monotypy.

Diagnosis: A batodesminine genus belongs to the Alocodesmus group by the absence of body modifications such as: evident epicranial processes; collum modified, elongated to the sides, or directed upwards; prominent convexities on antennae; ornamentation of the metazonite very tuberculated, setose, with the presence of spines; modified paranota with prominent denticulations and striae; ozopores located in highly developed and thickened peritremata. By gonopodal characteristics, Carloperlis differs from other genera by the presence of a field of numerous long setae on the dorsal side of gonocoxae ( vs. absence in Cordilleronomus Attems, 1931 ), absence of tibiotarsal branch ( vs. presence in Alocodesmus , Heteropeltis Carl, 1914 , and Dioparyphe Hoffman, 1969), and by the prefemoral process is bifid o with annex brach like a secondary process of the prefemoral process ( vs. prefemoral process trifid in Alocodesmus and simplex in Cordilleronomus and Cheirogonus Hoffman, 1982 ).
