Camptocladius nerius Curran, 1930: 34.

Compterosmittia clavigera Saether, 1982: 491.

Compterosmittia nerius (Curran); Cranston and Oliver 1988: 429.? Metriocnemus claggi Tokunaga, 1964: 506.

Diagnostic characters: The male imago can be separated from other members of the genus by having inferior volsella a rounded strongly projecting simple lobe; presence of supraalar; anal lobe reduced, Cu1 strongly sinuous; anal point weak with few setae; and megaseta dentate.
