Abstract Plagiocephalus is a genus composed of three species mainly recognized by the males with stalked-eyes.

We review the species of the genus, providing new diagnostic characters, an identification key, and new information on the terminalia of Plagiocephalus . Also, we update the geographic distribution of the species of the genus.
