Type species. Promitobates hexacanthus Kollar in Koch 1939, by monotypy.

Diagnosis. Promitobates can be distinguished from the remaining genera of Mitobatinae by: the posterior margin of dorsal scutum armed with large tubercles or apophyses; male trochanter IV with three apophyses, these being one dorsal apical, one retrolateral basal and one small prolateral apical spiniform; male coxa IV with a small internal spiniform apophysis and an external bifid apophysis. Femur IV of male more than four times longer than the length of the dorsal scutum, and trochanter IV of male longer than wide. Penis with ventral process of glans shorter than the stylus, apex of ventral process with distal spoon-shaped projection and truncus surpassing basal part of the ventral plate in lateral view.

Geographical distribution. BRAZIL. North of Santa Catarina, Paraná, São Paulo States, and south of Rio de Janeiro State ( Fig. 3 View FIGURE 3 A–C).
