The taxonomical arrangement of the two indicated taxa in the family Chelisochidae is in a few respects dubious in the basis of several their external features. Both species are known by only a single specimen and in rather a bad condition, so they are, not appropriate for ascertaining their specific as well as their generic status in this family. Further specimens are needed to solve the problem considering the fact that the representative of Isolabella graeca is damaged on one hand, and the holotype of Genitalata mahajani is a larva on the other. The redescription of the two species doubtful in their taxonomic status is given below. Figs 1-3.
