This species is currently assigned to family Manaosbiidae but may require revisions. This is closely related to Zygopachylus albomarginis. Both species exhibit a rare form of parental care where the males build cup-like mud nests where females visit, copulate, oviposit eggs, and leave. Males remain with the eggs and young juveniles, guarding them from predators.
