Other included species None. Diagnosis Differs from other genera of Prionopetalini by the combination of the mesal margin of the proplica running all the way to the coxal tip which is forming a distal opening, a simple, distally striate solenomere slightly shorter than the telomere, and a telomere with a set of parallel lamellae on the internal surface. Etymology The genus name (gender feminine) is an anagram of Raduliverpa Frederiksen & Enghoff, 2015 and refers to the similarities with this genus, especially in characters of the solenomere tip. Remarks This genus is not very well characterized vis-à-vis several other genera including Raduliverpa and Rhamphidarpoides Kraus, 1960 , although the two characters here taken to be diagnostic of Praludivera gen. nov. , viz, the extended proplica, the distally open coxa and the telomeral lamellae, are indeed exceptional. In the key to genera of “ Odontopyginae ” of Kraus (1966) , P. paralellamella gen. et sp. nov. runs to the last couplet where it fits with neither alternative, viz Patinatius Attems, 1928 , and Odontopyge sensu Kraus (see Enghoff 2016a concerning the latter genus).
