Genus Propodobolus Silvestri, 1897

Type species: Rhinocricus quintiporus Attems, 1897, by original designation.

COMMENT. This is a relatively small genus of Rhinocricidae currently comprising only nine species or subspecies from New Guinea and several surrounding archipelagos (Moluccas, Bismarck and Solomons) [Jeekel, 2001]. Following Jeekel [2001], we consider the species with only four apical cones on each antenna (= tetraconocerate), a strong to hypertrophied sternum of the anterior gonopods devoid of a basally constricted central process, coupled with a simple and bifurcate posterior gonopod only terminally broadened into an obliquely truncate blade, as belonging to this genus.
