Rhinoppia
Balogh, 1983
Type-species:
Oppia nasuta
Moritz, 1965

present; notogastral cristae absent; anterior edge of notogaster without humeral process; ten pairs of notogastral setae; genital plates with six pairs of setae, exceptionally five; lyrifissures

Here, we do not consider the pair of short ridges extending across the sejugal groove—present in all

by the absence of costulae (or reduction to bothridial costulae), notogastral cristae, and humeral process on the anterior notogaster.
