野茉莉一般;例如，来自巴西、哥伦比亚、厄瓜多尔和秘鲁的亚马逊河流域。这一新属在形态上与Stilpnochlora非常相似，但与Steirodiontini其他属的区别在于其锥头（类似于Conocephalinae亚科的一些属，如Neoconocephalus和Bucrates），第十个三层的修改为三个裂片，以及下生殖板上没有花柱。死亡行为被描述为一种防御机制。
Emsleyfolium diasae n. gen. et n. sp., from the Brazilian, Colombian, Ecuadorian and Peruvian Amazon is described in this contribution. This new genus is morphologically very similar to Stilpnochlora, but is distinguished from the other Steirodiontini genera by its cone -head (similar to some genera of subfamily Conocephalinae, e.g. Neoconocephalus and Bucrates), modification of the tenth tergite into three lobes and absence of styles on subgenital plate. Thanatosis behavior is described as a defense mechanism.
