Status As noted by Pettibone (1976: 67) Fauvel illustrated and stated that the median antenna of the type species, Macellicephala macrophthalma Fauvel, 1913 was broken, not absent (contra Hartmann-Schröder, 1974). The type species is known from a single specimen in poor condition; the cylindrical ("Hesionid-like") body, 29 segments and 13 pairs of elytra (Fauvel, 1913: 9-10, figure 4) are unlike other Macellicephalinae. Insufficiently known to place in a subfamily and here considered taxon inquirendum [details]
Status doubtful genus (cf. Pettibone 1976: 67) (R. Barnich) [details]
