Poropodalius Karg (5 described species)

Movable and fixed cheliceral digits with three and five teeth, respectively. Cheliceral arthrodial process a short coronet-like fringe. Epistome with a smooth anteromedian extension that may be of about uniform width along its length or wider at the base, and flanked by a pair of smooth or serrate anterolateral extensions shorter than the anteromedian extension. Seta h 3 about in longitudinal line with h 1 and in transversal line or slightly posterior, and mediad to h 2. Idiosoma elongate, 270–430 µm long and 130–260 µm wide at widest level. Ratios of width of podonotal and opisthonotal shields to maximum width of idiosoma 0.9 and 0.9–1.1, respectively. Dorsal idiosomal setae smooth or semi-pilose. Podonotal shield 0.9–1.1 times longer than wide; ornamented; with punctate band along posterior margin; with 21–22 pairs of setae, including two pairs (j 1 and z 1) near anterior margin; without transverse line between setae j 4 and j 5 and with four scleronoduli between setae j 5 and j 6 (between setae j 6 and z 6 in P. basisetae ). Soft integument along lateral margins of podonotal shield with 1–2 pairs of setae. Opisthonotal shield 0.8–1 times longer than wide; ornamented; with punctate band along anterior margin; and 15 pairs of setae. Soft integument along lateral margins of opisthonotal shield with 4–5 pairs of setae. Peritreme extending anteriorly to level of the middle of coxa II. Peritrematic shield not fused to podonotal shield. Presternal platelets absent. Sternal shield longer than wide, with anterior margin indistinct and posterior margin straight or concave. Genital shield longer, as long as or shorter than posterior width; posterior margin straight. Opisthogaster with or without lightly sclerotised platelets between genital and ventrianal shields. Ventrianal shield wider than long, ornamented, with 5–6 pairs of preanal setae; anterior margin concave or straight. Soft integument around ventrianal shield with two pairs of setae. With a pair of variously shaped metapodal platelets (without metapodal platelets in P. acutus Karg ). Pretarsus I present. Seta pl 4 of tarsus IV absent.
