Abstract: Genus Dionaeadesmus Enghoff gen. nov. urn:lsid:zoobank.org:act: 2F0BBC98-DA48-46A0-80FA-A5C375507E14 Type species Dionaeadesmus force Enghoff gen. et sp. nov. Diagnosis Dionaeadesmus gen. nov. differs from other Tanzanian genera of Chelodesmidae as shown in Table 2, notably by the large spiky postfemoral process (prp, Figs 16E–F, 17A–D). Etymology Named after the Venus fly-trap Dionaea muscipula J.Ellis because the pair of heavily spiked gonopod prefemoral processes may remind of the spike-edged leaves of this carnivorous plant. Other included species None.
