Overview
The New World genus Smerdalea includes five described species (shown below). The taxonomic placement of genus remains a subject of debate (Deitz 1975a; Cryan, Robertson, and Deitz 2004a; Lin et al. 2004a; Dietrich 2008a). Its share features with the tribes Microcentrini and Stegaspidini, as well as the unplaced genus Smergotomia (Dietrich 2008a).
