Genus Karadenizia gen. nov.
Type species: Karadenizia merti gen. nov., sp. nov., by present designation and monotypy.
Diagnosis. Distinguished from other pachyiuline genera by the presence of a characteristic opisthomere, the distal part of which resembles the head of a singing songbird, with a beaklike solenomere with a spoutlike anterior part, and a strongly developed, fimbriate velum (anterior lamella) below. In addition, the following combination of gonopodal and habitual features can be used to recognise this genus: promere spoon-shaped with a lateral ridge and a distomesal tooth; mesomeral process strongly developed, digitiform, mesally connected to the opisthomere by a well-developed accessory membrane; opisthomere without posterior lamella; body moniliform, with a characteristic colour pattern with orange anterior and posterior ends; head with a pair of frontal setae and ommatidia; mandibular stipites expanded; metazonae with setae; epiproct with a short process.
Name. The new genus is named after its terra typica, the Black Sea coast. Karadeniz is the Turkish name for the Black Sea. The name is a feminine noun.
