Diagnosis.
This genus differs from Thaumaspis by hypognathous head, differs form all previous genera by unusual ventral arms at lower part of male 10th abdominal tergite, moreover posterior marginal processes of this tergite absence or instead of by small lobes, varied apex of cerci and almost trilobed posterior part of female subgenital fig. We believed hypognathous head and unique ventral arm of male 10th abdominal tergite sufficient to exclude Pseudothaumaspis from Thaumaspis and elevate it to generic status.
