Diagnosis
| Reference | Diagnosis | |
|---|---|---|
| F. Fanti and L. J. Walker 2019 | No Podistra have been previously described from the Oligocene and thus from Rott. The new species differs from Podistra (Absidia) kloevedali Fanti & Damgaard, 2018 in Baltic amber by its shorter elytra and shorter pronotum, which is flatter especially at the base (Fanti & Damgaard, 2018). |
