Diagnosis
Neoprothrix gen. nov. is a Prothricinae with opisthosomal ventral setae I (d) and II (e) missing. This new genus is near Prothrix Keifer, 1965 in the presence of dorsal shield tubercles of vertical externa (ve) setae moved forward; in the absence of tibial seta (l'); in the presence of lateral solenidion knobbed (φ) on tibia I; and in the presence of dorsal seta (c 1). However, it differs from this genus mainly in the absence of opisthosomal ventral setae II (e) (present in Prothrix ); and dorsal annuli with pointed lateral projections (not pointed in Prothrix ).
Type species
Neoprothrix hibiscus sp. nov.
Etymology
Neo, from the Greek “ neos ”, meaning new, combined with “ prothrix ”, the name of the first and unique genus in the Prothricinae , subfamily to which the new genus belongs.
