CORPORAAL & VAN DER WIEL (1949) : 183 (key to species). Type species. Diplopherusa tumidipes Heller, 1922 , by monotypy. Diagnosis (for the Japanese and Taiwanese species). This genus is similar to Paracladiscus , but is distinguished from it by the following characters: head and pronotum vested with fine punctation; terminal segments of labial palpi widely triangular, their length equal to 1/3 of width of apical margin of terminal palpomeres ( Fig. 19 ); postgular processes dilated distally at extremities; anterior plate of metendosternite ( Fig. 20 ) wide, slightly extended anteriorly; hind tibiae in male ( Fig. 21 ) swollen posteriorly; phallobasic struts (Figs 44, 46, 48, 50) well developed. This genus is also similar to Cladiscus , Gracilotillus , Egenocladiscus , and Figs 1–5. Habitus of Diplopherusa spp (1–4 – male; 5 – female). 1 – Diplopherusa yonaguniensis sp. nov. , holotype; 2 – D. ahsini Yang & Yang, 2013 ; 3 – D. kitamurai Nakane, 1989 ; 4–5 – D. shibatai ( Miyatake, 1965 ) . Scale bars: 2.0 mm. Figs 6–9. Habitus of Paracladiscus spp. (6, 8 – male, holotype; 7, 9 – female). 6–7 – Paracladiscus choui sp. nov. ; 8–9 – P. atricolor Miyatake, 1965 . Scale bars: 2.0 mm. Orthocladiscus , but distinctly differs from these genera in swollen male hind tibiae. A key to these genera was published by CORPORAAL & VAN DER WIEL (1949) .
