The colouration is usually yellow with longitudinal black, orange or reddish stripes. The Neotropical genus occurs from Mexico to Argentina and Chile. The genus was described by Johann Friedrich von Eschscholtz, the zoology professor of the University of Tartu. There is a close genus '' Semiotinus'' Pjatakowa, 1941, which initially included one species '' Semiotinus banghaasi'' Pjatakowa, 1941. S. A. Wells (2003) proposed to transfer 15 species, formerly placed in ''Semiotus'' Eschscholtz into the genus ''Semiotinus''. R.
