): Coxa (cx) large, semi-circular in ventral view, with deep gonocoel mesally; anterior third much lower than rest of coxa, shield-like, thus lateral, swollen and alveolate part rectangular in lateral view; with ≈ 15 setae. Cannula (ca) long, C-shaped. Telopodite long compared to coxa, consisting of a transverse, setose prefemorite (pf) and more or less C-shaped (in lateral and mesal views) acropodite (a) longitudinally divided in distal half into two branches, solenomeral branch (sb) and solenophore (sph). Solenomeral branch positioned mesally, transversely divided into three processes, besides solenomere (s) and distal solenomeral process (dsp), there is an additional, proximal solenomeral process (psp), more or less spatulate and forming C-shaped rift with solenomere. Both solenomere (s) and distal solenomeral process (dsp) long, slender, of same length, forming acute angle at bifurcation. Solenophore (sph) longer than solenomeral branch, characterized by a lateral lamella (ll) and a distal projection (dp). Lateral lamella (ll) with triangular lobe. Distal projection (dp) long, thin and twisted. Seminal groove (sg) starts from seminal fossa (sf) mesally on prefemorite, extends along mesal side of acropodite up to bifurcation of solenomeral branch and solenophore, then passes on lateral side of solenomeral branch, further proximally on solenomere, ending distally.

gen. nov., which makes sense due to their distributions. These two genera share not only similarities in certain habitus features but also in the gonopods. Both include small-bodied species with 19 rings in adults, with sensilla basiconica on antennomere 6 partially exposed outside the pit, hypoproct with more than two long distal setae and paraprocts with more than 2+2 long setae. The conformation of the gonopods is very similar, where the acropodite is longitudinally divided into two branches, with the solenomeral branch transversely divided into long and relatively slender solenomere and well-developed distal process in both genera. Based on this, both genera differ from other European
