Armeniopachyiulus gen. nov.

Type species. Armeniopachyiulus pokr gen. et sp. nov., by present designation

Included species.

The new genus is monospecific.

Diagnosis. A genus of the tribe Pachyiulini being most similar to Micropachyiulus in both external and gonopod morphology: Body very small (L typically less than 13 mm, H less than 0.8 mm); with vertigial and metazonal setae; pre-anal ring with an epiproct; mandibular stipites in males not expanded; promere with a rather short mesal ridge and an elongated, microdentate/spinulate, distal ridge; opisthomere with a well-developed posterior lamella and a rather weakly differentiated mesomeral process. Differs from Micropachyiulus mainly by the structure of the opisthomere which lacks a distinct solenomeral process, but possesses an apical fovea, while it possesses a slender solenomeral process apically, but lacks apical fovea in the latter genus.

Etymology. Derived from Armenia, the terra typica, and Pachyiulus , the type genus of the tribe Pachyiulini . Masculine.
