Family Haplobainosomatidae Verhoeff, 1909

The following diagnosis of the family is a translation of that of Mauriès (1971), slightly modified to include the new genus which lacks the anterior formations in ‘cupule’ of the ‘gonopodal floor’ or ‘plancher gonopodial’ sensu Mauriès (2015) (angiocoxites or synangiocoxite) included in the original diagnosis.

Diagnosis. P. 8. (anterior gonopods): Basis of each telopodite forming an apodeme pseudoarticulated with tracheal pouch (forming a kind of cup or corolla around the basis of the telopodite together with a rest of the sternite); angiocoxite (synangiocoxite, or angiocoxosternite) between the two telopodites, of variable form, the most anterior part usually (but not in all cases) forming a cupule- or bowl-like structures; colpocoxites of variable form (rarely sclerotized, most frequently soft, more or less fused in midline) connected on the posterior margin of the angiocoxite, placed in a posterior position relative to that of telopodites.

P. 9. (posterior gonopods, or paragonopods): Variable, sometimes simple stumps, sometimes clearly articulated with terminal article directed laterad-shaped; sternite not modified.
