Parhynchoribates n. subgen.

Diagnosis. Body usually large to very large (always above 1000, up to 1350). Rostrum very elongated, with very specific, transversal and usually broadly U-shaped ridge splitting rostrum in two uneven parts. Lateral margins of rostrum without group of larger teeth close to insertions of ro, few very fine teeth may be present, but invisible or hardly visible in dorsal view. Lamellar setae inserted on thickened cuticular areas or chitinous ridges (which may be interpreted as lamellar costulae, axially separated or joined and creating transversal arch). Anterior margin of notogaster axially with arched or angulate ridge, projecting posteriad by notogastral cristae. Circumpedal ridges absent or weakly developed, lyrifissures iad adanal.
