DiagnosisDiagnosis (genus Darlingtonia): Strongly bilobed, semicalyculated and semicapitated hemipenis with the capitulum restricted to the sulcate and lateral surface of the lobes, formed by papillate calyces; relatively long lobes, representing almost half the total length of the organ [GRAZZIOTIN et al. 2012].

CommentThis species may be reassigned to Arrhyton (see Hedges and Garrido 1992).

Type species: Darlingtonia haetiana COCHRAN 1935 is the type species of the genus Darlingtonia COCHRAN 1935. GRAZZIOTIN et al. 2012 et al. argued that the synonymization of Darlingtonia with Ialtris (Hedges et al., 2009) is not justified given the significantly distinct, external and hemipenial morphologies of these genera.
