Genus Annamina Attems, 1937

Diagnosis.

Medium-sized (ca 2-3 cm long) Sulciferini with 20 body segments, distinct, thin and mostly subhorizontal paraterga, evident transverse sulci on metaterga 5-17(18), and a very high, tongue-shaped, setose, subtruncate lobe between ♂ coxae 4.

Gonopod mostly stout, prefemoral (= densely setose) region small, much shorter than femorite, the latter usually with evident, sometimes hyline, mesal and/or ventral lobes, clearly set off by sulci from both pre- and postfemoral parts; seminal groove mostly dorsal, not mesal, running onto a short flagelliform solenomere on mesal face near distal (= postfemoral) sulcus; acropodite consisting of a prominent central spine sometimes flanked by a mesal and/or a lateral process/outgrowth and carrying parabasally or near midway an inconspicuous, short, dentiform, ventral solenophore devoid of membranous elements and subtending the distal part of solenomere.
