Diagnosis.
Prodorsum: lamellae large, long, blade-like, curving down; anterior ovoid fissure and crest present; posterior plate-like structure curved upwards, not covering anterior bothridial area; lamellar setae situated on inner lamellar margins. Bothridium cup-shaped with anterior incision. No interlamellar setae. Dorsosejugal suture inverted U-shaped, with round apex and flat ledge. Notogaster globose; lenticulus large, cylindrical, protruding, directed forward, exceeding dorsosejugal suture; a polyedral anterior zone behind lenticulus delimited by folds; posterior zone formed by elevations and depressions; ten pairs of setae present, inserted on tubercles; three pairs of sacculi and four pairs of bean-shaped lyrifissures present. Legs heterotridactylous.
Etymology.
The generic prefix
provolis
is derived from προβολής (Greek) = projection (English), because the lenticulus is projected anteriad into the prodorsal region.
