Lehr erected Kurzenkoiellus for Machimus dasypygus in 1995. I understand why he erected a new genus based on morphological differences. The over all looks are different from Machimus especially in the shape of the male hypopygium. Also the ovipositor is shaped slightly different, but the cerci are free what it seperates from Dysmachus. I do not know how it relates exactly to Machimus/Tolmerus etc., but to me it seems something between Neomochtherus and Tolmerus, based simply on morphological characters.
