These species present the subanal appendages pointing to anal opening, instead of pointing to genital pore, the metatrochanteral seta D2 is not modified into a sensory organ located in an elongate, triangular socket, and a trochanteral spine is present. The dental E1 and L1 are not spinelike. Those features exclude all these four species from the genus Arrhopalites, as will be discussed later in this work, and place them in the genus Pararrhopalites Bonet &amp; Tellez, 1944.</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/03C387C2FFFAFFDDFE9C43FEAFFD34A6	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.
