Type species

Pogoropsis prolixopes Rosenmejer & Enghoff View in CoL gen. et sp. nov.

Diagnosis

Moderate/small-sized (length 33–37 mm), convex gomphodesmids, pore formula: 5, 7, 9–19.

Four apical sensory cones on antennae, fossa present on 5 th and 6 th antennomeres. Paranota slightly declivent. Stricture poorly defined, with visible edge only in front of anterior spiracle. Pleurosternal carinae present on body rings 1–17. Anterior legs without ventral tubercles, with sparse setation. Setae on dorsal side of tarsi shorter and stouter than the rest. Subonychial pads on legs 1–6. Sharing most of these characters with Pogoro but differing by: sternal process of segment 6 longer than wide, with triangular tip. Gonopod telopodite relatively long and slender, making a hairpin bend on the middle, so the postnodal telepodite lies close to the prefemoral region. Nodal process L and paracannular setae absent.

Etymology

The genus name refers to the similarity to the genus Pogoro . Gender feminine.
