Remarks.

According to Fisher (2009) the genus Wilcoxius is similar to Martintella (see remarks under Martintella ), but both genera can be promptly distinguished by frons with parallel slopes (Fig. 18 D View Figure 18 ), mystax restricted to the lower 1 / 2 of face and composed of sparse setae (Fig. 18 C, D View Figure 18 ), abdominal sternites with macrosetae (Fig. 18 E View Figure 18 ) and phallus exposed (Fig. 18 F View Figure 18 ) versus frons with convergent slopes (Fig. 12 A View Figure 12 ), mystax occupying 2 / 3 of face and restricted to the middle of face, resembling a mohawk (Fig. 12 A, B View Figure 12 ), abdominal sternites without macrosetae ( Vieira et al. 2014: figs 1, 17, 29) and phallus concealed ( Vieira et al. 2014: figs 1, 17, 29) in Martintella .
