Genus Dinematocricus Brölemann, 1913

Type species: D. lanceolatus Brölemann, 1913, by original designation.

COMMENT. This is one of the largest genera in Rhinocricidae currently comprising at least 44 nominal species or subspecies [Jeekel, 2001]. Following Jeekel [2001], we consider the species with only four apical cones on each antenna (= tetraconocerate), coupled with a simple, bifurcate and flagelliform posterior gonopod, as belonging to this genus. Contrary to Jeekel [2001], Hoffman [1974] considered it as a junior subjective synonym of Salpidobolus Silvestri, 1897 (see below).
