Abstract: Parapronematus citri Salviejo, 1969 Parapronematus citri Salviejo, 1969: 272. The description of this species is also basic and lacks measurements, although the illustrations are rather detailed, showing some important characteristics, as follows: setae ro, ex, c1, c2, d1 and e1 very short (less than half as long as f1), thick and lanceolate; f1 about 2/3 as long as h1 ; f2 slightly over twice as long as f1 ; h2 about 1.2 times as long as h1 (Table 1). The number of setae on tarsus IV is mentioned in the text to be “as for the genus” (five setae), whereas the illustration seems to show six setae (not totally clear). We suppose it to be five. We consider to be distinctive characteristics of this species: setae ro, ex, c1, c1, d1 and e1 11 –13, shorter than all other setae; eupathidia long (tc″ /tarsus I≈3.0); tarsi III and IV respectively with six and five setae.
