Abstract - A new genus, Billbarrellus, is proposed for the single species Eulasiodora singularis Obenberger 1931, which is distinct from the type species of that genus, Eulasiodora umtalina (Péringuey 1908) (formerly Paradora), at the subtribal level. Both taxa are redescribed and illustrated to emphasize their differences.
