Blanchard established the genus in a museum catalogue dated 1850 (but actually published in 1851) and separated the genus from related ''
Rhizotrogus'' the basis of the claws being split at the tip. This character is also seen in ''Phytalus. Cryphaeobius,'' and ''Rhizocolax'' from which ''Brahmina'' may be separated in that the abdomen is only slightly or not recessed at the pygydium tip. The male antenna club is short and only slightly longer than in the female. The tarsal claw is split at the tip and the lower tooth is shorter and wider than the upper tooth.
