Genus Hoffmanides Kraus, 1968

Hoffmanides Kraus, 1966: 134 .

Type species

Spinotarsus dissutus Hoffman, 1963, by original designation and monotypy.

Remarks

This genus, remarkable for is widely open gonopod coxa, was erected by Kraus for a species originally placed in the large, mainly southern African genus Spinotarsus Attems, 1909 . By doing so, Kraus deprived Tanzania of the genus Spinotarsus, an action neutralized by the description below of a new Tanzanian species of Spinotarsus .
