Diagnosis. Dorsal shield entire, reticulated, with 29–30 pairs of setae (more than 40 pairs of setae in Neparholaspis marginipilis (Evans, 1956)) ; setae may be acicular, spatulate, pilose or whip-like. Presternal area with one or two pairs of free presternal shields, or with one pair of interconnected fragments. Sternal shield with three pairs of acicular setae. Metasternal shields fused with sternal and/or endopodal shields III, or free; normally with a pair of metasternal St4 setae, except N. crispus without metasternal setae. Genital shield free, with a pair of genital setae St5. Peritrematal shields fused with endopodal, exopodal and ventri-anal shields. Females with or without expulsory vesicles (postero-stigmal organs, glands gv2), located in the ventri-anal shield posterior to coxae IV. Peritrematal shields in some species with one or two pairs of conspicuous poroids, but usually all peritrematal poroids are small and inconspicuous. Ventri-anal shield fused with peritermatal shields, with four or six pairs of simple ventral setae. Epistome subtriangular or with median projection, with smooth or serrated margins. Corniculus longer than movable digit of chelicera. Dorsal seta of chelicera wedge-shaped. Chelicera of female with crown-like and oblong setal brushes at the base of movable digit. Legs II–IV with claws; legs I with or without claws. Males with a holoventral shield; without expulsory vesicles (conspicuous glands gv2); movable digit of male with sperm transfer organ.
