Diagnosis: Gonopod femorite usually long and slender, only rarely somewhat expanded parabasally and supplied with a distal outgrowth ( Aponedyopus) or carrying a lateral sulcus ( Haplogonosoma) before a clear-cut cingulum and geniculation. Postfemoral portion directed mesad, long, slender, more or less coiled, either entirely a thick solenomere devoid of any outgrowths ( Riukiupeltis) or split at base into a thick ( Chamberlinius) or thin, long, truly flagelliform solenomere and a membranous, more or less complex solenophore (remaining three genera).
Included genera: ChamberliniusWang, 1956, RiukiupeltisVerhoeff, 1939, AponedyopusVerhoeff, 1939, Haplogonosoma Broelemann, 1916 and GeniculodesmusChen, Golovatch & Chang, 2008.
