Pseudosundanina gen. nov.

Type species: Sundanina falcata Attems, 1937 , by present designation

Diagnosis: A genus of Sundaninini of medium size (> 22 mm long) with 20 segments, a normal pore formula, poorly–developed paraterga and pleurosternal carinae, but with obvious transverse metatergal sulci and a sternal lamina (lobe) between male coxae 4.

Gonopod relatively simple. Coxite long and subcylindrical, modestly setose distoventrally. Prefemur short and as usual densely setose. Femorite slender and long, about as long as coxite, demarcated from postfemoral portion (= solenophore) by a very evident subtransverse sulcus laterally, with a long, curved, well–developed, slender process distally near base of a flagelliform solenomere, but without additional sulci. Solenophore very long and slender, much longer than femorite or coxite, devoid of parabasal outgrowths. Both a lamina medialis and, especially, a lamina lateralis well–developed.

Pseudosundanina gen.n can be distinguished from the other Sundaninini genera in the presence of a long process at the base of the gonofemorite and in a well–developed lamina lateralis of the solenophore.

Etymology: A feminine noun to emphasize a “false Sundanina ”.
