(C.) julianii Andalco-Cid & Ramírez-Ponce subgen. et sp. nov., S. (C.) grossipenis Andalco-Cid & Ramírez-Ponce subgen. et sp. nov., S. (C.) uniungula Andalco-Cid & Ramírez-Ponce subgen. et sp. nov., S. (C.) vulcanica Andalco-Cid & Ramírez-Ponce subgen. et sp. nov., S. (C.) borealis Andalco-Cid & Ramírez-Ponce subgen. et sp. nov.
