Genus Diproctophyllodes Atyeo and Gaud, 1968

Type species: Proctophyllodes (Alloptes) dielytra Trouessart, 1885, by original designation.

The genus Diproctophyllodes was established by Atyeo and Gaud (1968) and includes two species, Diproctophyllodes dielytra (Trouessart, 1885) and D. oxyrunci Atyeo and Gaud, 1968, associated with suboscine passerines of the families Pipridae and Tityridae, respectively (Table 1). This genus is close to Nycteridocaulus, but is readily differentiated from that genus by the males having hypertrophied legs III and extremely long opisthosomal lobes that make up nearly half the length of hysterosoma.
