Diagnosis of Parapronematus

Adult females with three pairs of setae on the aspidosoma (la lacking, except in one species), nine pairs on the dorsum of the opisthosoma (ps1 and ps3 lacking), three pairs of ag, three setae on tibia I and two on genu I instead of respectively four and three in all other pronematid genera. Two setae on genu II, trochanter II nude, and one seta on femur IV. Only two other genera have three ag setae, but they have different leg I setation. Aberrations of some species concerning the type species: one species with four setae (la present) on aspidosoma, three of the seven species with five setae on tarsus III instead of six (the species described below has five or six setae on tarsus III), one species with two setae on each of femora I and II instead of three.
