Subtribe Kayesiina subtrib. nov.

Type genus. Kayesia Schouteden, 1903 .

Latero-apical margins of pygophore with sensory projections ( Fig. 2 ). Parandria divided into lateral and medial parts ( Figs. 2, 5 ) Ventral infolding of pygophore bent dorsad in Kayesia ( Fig. 2 ) and lost in Kundelungua . Sensory process of paramere small. Ventrolateral lobes of conjunctiva ( Figs. 6, 7 ) present in different groups of the Podopinae , long and membranous (lost in Kundelungua ). Medial penal plates lying between them, divided into longitudinal bands and apical processes. Body covered with extremely short setae.
