Newportia
(
Ectonocryptops
)
Crabill, 1977
Fig. 14
Type
species.
Ectonocryptops kraepelini
Crabill, 1977
(by original designation).
Diagnosis.
Anterior margin of forcipular coxosternite slightly convex, lacking projections; tarsungula long, overlapping each other by at least 1/3 of their length when adducted (fig.
2 in
Shelley & Mercurio 2008
). Ultimate leg tibia practically twice the length of tarsus 1 (
Fig. 14
), with distomedial ventral uncinate process and glandular pores medially; tarsus 2 globose, small but well-developed (
Fig. 14
).
Number of species.
1.
Remarks.
Treated as a genus in
Edgecombe & Bonato (2011: 405)
, suggested as a subgenus of
Newportia
by
Vahtera
et al.
(2013: 589)
. The most recent account on this genus is
Shelley & Mercurio (2008: 66)
.

Type
species.
Ectonocryptoides quadrimeropus
Shelley & Mercurio, 2005
(by original designation).
Diagnosis.
Anterior margin of forcipular coxosternite evidently convex, with “two low, additionally chitinised, lobes” (
Schileyko 2009: 529
); tarsungula long, overlapping each other by at least 1/3 of their length when adducted (
Fig. 17
). Ultimate leg tarsus 1 slightly longer than tibia (
Fig. 15
), the latter with glandular pores ventrally, without distomedial uncinate process (see also fig. 1b in
Cupul-Magaña 2015
); tarsus 2 absent or rudimentary.
Number of species.

Remarks.
Treated as a genus in
Edgecombe & Bonato (2011: 405)
,
Vahtera
et al.
(2012a: 12
, 13); suggested as a subgenus of
Newportia
by
Vahtera
et al.
(2013: 589)
, treated as a subgenus in
Cupul-Magaña (2015)
. The most recent morphological accounts on
Ectonocryptoides
are those of
Schileyko (2009)
and
Koch
et al
. (2010)
