.Carteronica Kieffer and Nilodorum Kieffer sensu auctt. are synonymized with Kiefferulus Goetghebuer on the basis of cladistic analysis. An expanded diagnosis for all stages of Kiefferulus and a checklist of included species is given. K.longilobus comb.n. from Carteronica , a saline tolerant nuisance pest, is redescribed in all its life history stages. The following additional new combinations are proposed: K.brevibucca (Kieffer), K.brevipalpis (Kieffer), K.rugosum (Freeman), K.tainanus (Kieffer), K.umbraticola (Yamamoto). Many new characters from larval ventromental plates are illustrated and their use in phylo‐genetic analysis is discussed.
