Addendum to generic diagnosis. A combination of the following apomorphies differs Promanodes from other relevant lophocaterine genera: (1) extraordinarily elongate terminal segment of labial palps (distinctly longer or as long as two preceding segments together), (2) slender and elongate tarsi in all pair of legs (approximately as long as tibiae), (3) tibiae without hooked apical spine, (4) procoxal cavities nearly closed or maybe perfectly closed in the new species, (5) six visible abdominal ventrites, (6) 10-segmented antennae, (7) flat body. (1) Large and loose 3- segmented antennal club, (2) weakly transverse mesocoxae and (3) elytra with distinct carinae can be considered plesiomorphies of the genus regarding other lophocaterines ( Table 1).

For the original diagnosis of Promanodes see Kolibáč et al. (2010).
