The genus Semicephalops De Meyer, 1994 Cephalops (Semicephalops) De Meyer, 1994: 12. Type species: Pipunculus semifumosus Kowarz, 1887 (original designation); De Meyer, 1996: 31; Skevington & Yeates, 2001: 440. Cephalops brasiliensis group Rafael, 1990: 459 (partim). Semicephalops; Motamedinia et al. 2021: 14 (phylogeny). Diagnosis. Same as Cephalops (diagnose above) except for all tibiae lacking stout median and apical spine-like setae; abdomen broad and shortened and membranous area of syntergosternite 8 reaching the epandrium. In some of the more apomorphic species, however, the membranous area is reduced (De Meyer 1992, 1993).
