Type species.

Strongylosoma contortipes Attems, 1898, by original designation.

Diagnosis.

Jeekel (2004) stated that the genus can be recognised by the paraterga being small or completely reduced; the gonopod femorite erect, narrow at the base and widening abruptly; demarcation between femorite and postfemoral region present; the solenomere and solenophore twisted one or two times; and the solenomere completely sheathed by solenophore.

Remarks.

The genus can be separated into two small groups based on the absence or presence of paraterga. The former group contains Streptogonopus jerdani and Streptogonopus degerboelae , the latter comprises Streptogonopus neglectus , Streptogonopus phipsoni , and Streptogonopus nitens .
