Description

Simothraulopsis Demoulin

This genus, currently represented by five species, is widely distributed in Northern South America. It is related to the genera Farrodes and Homothraulus. While Farrodes is widely distributed in the Americas, Homothraulus has only been collected in Northeastern Argentina, Uruguay and Southeastern Brazil (Paraná basin). It appears then that Simothraulopsis present a vicariant distribution with its sister group Homothraulus.
