Revision or Synopsis: Paucar-Cabrera, A. 2003. Systematics and phylogeny of the genus Epectinaspis Blanchard (Coleoptera: Scarabaeidae: Rutelinae) and description of a new genus of Anomalini from Mexico. Coleopterists Society Monographs 2:1-60.
Composition: 2 species.
Etymology: the genus epithet, "Balanogonia," is Greek for apex of the penis (balano) and for angle (gonia), and refers to the fact that the male specimens have the parameres perpendicular in relation to the phallobase formin an angle with it, and to the fact that the parameres in lateral view have a subrtriangular shape (Paucar-Cabrera, 2003).
