Family Parthenopidae

The male gonopore is coxal, similar in both subfamilies Daldorfiinae Ng & Rodríguez, 1986, and Parthenopinae MacLeay, 1838. The large gonopore is situated just above the P5 coxo-sternal condyle, at the limit of the condyle and the coxa itself ( Bouvier 1940: fig. 190; Guinot 1979a: fig. 46H). The emerging penis is wide, thick but then tapers off. Sternite 7 extends onto the P5 coxa in some genera (e.g., Cryptopodia fistulosa , Derilambrus angulifrons ).
