GENUS UPEMBARUS KOCH, 1956 , SENS. NOV.
Type species: Upembarus saegeri Koch, 1956 ; by original designation.
Diagnostic characters: Upembarus , Lechius , and Paraselinus form a generic group supported by the following characters: basal indentations of the pronotal disc are absent (character 10:0), the pronotal disc is convex and relatively narrow (characters 18:0, 19:0), the elytral epipleuron does not cover the ninth elytral interval (character 33:1), and wings are absent.
Upembarus is distinguished from all other Afrotropical platynotoid Platynotina by having the apical part of the mentum strongly protruding towards the apex of the body (character 2:1), and the apex of the intercoxal process of the prosternum wider than the coxa (character 21:1).
