Parainvenusta Curini-Galletti

Description

Genus Parainvenusta Curini-Galletti gen. nov.

Diagnosis: Coelogynoporidae with long paracnida surrounding the genital pore and in the tail. Copulatory organ of the duplex type, containing a convoluted unarmed cirrus. With bursa, and long, muscular genito-intestinal connection.

Etymology: The genus name is coined after the genus Invenusta Sopott-Ehlers, 1976, and reflects the superficial similarity between the two taxa.
