Solentanodesmus Antić and Reip , gen. n.

Type species: Solentanodesmus insularis Antić and Reip , new species, by present designation. Etymology: The new genus is named after its type locality, the island of Šolta (in Latin Solentae), and is masculine in gender.

Diagnosis: 19 segments (♂, ♀). This genus can be distinguished from the other Trichopolydesmidae by the presence of very small, gracile, crossed or almost crossed gonopods, each with a long and slender process between the prefemoral part and acropodite, and with a long, flagelliform, apical part of the acropodite; a cannula is absent while the seminal canal opens at the border between the basal and apical parts of the acropodite.
