Genus Lusitanipus Mauriès, 1978 View in CoL

Type-species: Lysiopetalum alternans Verhoeff, 1893

Diagnosis. A genus of Dorypetalidae , subfamily Cyphocallipodinae; differs from Cyphocallipus by the simple gonopodal coxite and the straight, rodlike gonopodal pseudoflagellum (very thin and curved, following the curvature of the telepodite in Cyphocallipus ); differs from the very poorly known genus Dorycallipus by not having the male forehead flattened and by having the setiferous metazonital crests larger than the non-setiferous ones (fide Verhoeff 1909).
