Typhlodromus (Trionus) Denmark, 1992: 32 (synonym by Chant & McMurtry, 1994).

The species in the subgenus Typhlodromus View in CoL are characterized by Chant & McMurtry, (1994, 2007): absence of seta S5; dorsal setal pattern 12A:7A; caudoventral setal patterns of females JV:ZV (the most common), with a total of 34 pairs of idiosomal setae, however, only Typhlodromus View in CoL (T.) leptodactylus Wainstein has caudoventral setal pattern JV-3:ZV with a total of 33 pairs of idiosomal setae; dorsal setae z3, s6, J2, S2, S4, R1 and caudoventral setae JV2, JV4 and ZV3 present; dorsal setae z6, J1, Z1, Z3 and S5 absent; caudoventral setae JV3 present/absent; caudoventral setal pattern of the males JV-4:ZV-1,3 (the most common) and JV-4:ZV-3; dorsal setae relatively uniform in length; spermatheca with calyx cup-shaped or elongate, tubular; leg IV with at most one macroseta (on basitarsus); genu II with 6, 7 or 8 setae; chelicera of most species with few teeth [fixed digit of T. (T.) griekwensis Schultz View in CoL , has 6 and the one of T. (T.) neomagdalenae View in CoL n. sp. has 7 teeth]; T. (T.) leptodactylus Wainstein has the palps elongate.

Three species of this genus are reported in this paper. Females of those species have idiosomal setae sharp-tipped; setae r3 and R1 inserted on integument; 3 pairs of sternal setae, except T. (T.) griekwensis which has 2 (ST3 inserted on separate shields); 4 pairs of pre-anal setae; a pair of pre-anal pores, except T. (T.) griekwensis , in which pre-anal pores are absent; 2 pairs of metapodal shields.
