Overview
Members of the subgenus Oeda (Oeda) are easily recognized based on the structure and attachment of the inflated pronotal process (see Diagnostic characters below). Sakakibara (2014a) described one new species and provided a key to the known species. Camacho, Ávila, and Flórez-V. 2024a discussed whether the enlarged pronotum hindered or enhanced flight in this subgenus.
