Body very small, without tympana and apterous in male (Figs 1, 2). Head somewhat dorsoventrally depressed, with rather small and almost triangular eyes lacking facets only in small upper part, without ocelli, with large and very convex clypeus having space between antennal cavities approximately 3 times as wide as scape, and with moderately long and thin maxillary palpi (their subapical segment almost as long as clypeal width, and apical and third segments more or less equal in length but slightly shorter than subapical one; Figs 1, 3). Pronotum semitubular, somewhat longer than wide, with anterior edge slightly convex, with posterior edge barely concave, and with lateral lobes rather high as well as having very obtusely angular ventral edges and almost vertical anterior and posterior edges (Figs 1, 2). Legs moderately long and thin, with hind leg having femur distinctly longer than tibia (Fig. 4), and with long and narrow tarsi lacking any widened parts or lobules (Figs 1, 4). Abdominal apex slightly widened in dorsal view and with tergites lacking large lobes or projections; anal plate rather large, directed mainly downwards, and with a pair of longitudinal stripes consisting of short but strong setae (Figs 8, 9); paraprocts widely separated from each other, very large and in shape of characteristic hooks having large distal lamellar lobes directed medially (Figs 8–10); genital plate rather short but with distal part having narrow median lobule (Fig. 9–11); genitalia with membranous dorsal fold having very long and thin sclerotised rachis inside membranous invagination near apex of this fold (this rachis forming a few irregular loops; Figs 6, 7).</p><p>Included species. Only type species.</p><p>Comparison. The new genus is more or less similar to the other genera of this subtribe in its general appearance. However, it differs from the widely distributed genus Cycloptiloides (with several species in America, Africa, Asia and nearest islands, some of which are probably synanthropic) in an apterous male body, the male pronotum lacking a hind lobe covering the tegmina in Cycloptoloides, the absence of tympana, the male paraprocts with specialised hook-like processes widely separated from each other and having the distal parts lamellar and directed medially, the male genital plate with a narrower posteromedian lobule, and the male genitalia without sclerites on the dorsal fold but with a sclerotised rachis forming more than one loop. From the African genus Eucycloptilum lacking any hind pronotal lobe, wings and tympana as well as with unknown male genitalia, the new genus is distinguished by a smaller eye portion without facets and the same characters of the male abdominal apex (i.e., specialised paraprocts and genital plate). It should be added that E. parvum Chopard, 1961 described in Eucycloptilum from a single female (Angola) but having a small inner tympanum as well as a simple (normal) abdominal apex (Chopard, 1961: fig. 63) must be evidently transferred to the genus Cycloptiloides ( C. parvus comb. nov.), because all the true females of Eucycloptilum lack tympana and have the seventh abdominal tergite with a pair of posterolateral lobules partly covering the base of the genital plate from below (Chopard, 1935: figs 6, 8).</p><p>Etymology. This new generic name originates from the old generic name Mogoplistes with the Latinised Greek prefix “bothro-“ (connected with burrow) due to the discovery of the type species of this genus in a burrow.</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/0C2D7D761B0FFFB6C3AFFC69CC90B359	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

Male, South Africa, Northern Cape Prov., ~ 50 km SW of Springbok Town, Namaqua National Park, 100–200 m, semi-desert with salt marsh, beer trap in large burrow of possibly porcupine ( Hystrix), 11–14.I.2008, A. Gorochov, A. Sotshivko (ZIN).</p><p>Description. Male (holotype). Body uniformly yellowish with sparse and small whitish scales (many scales missing after beer trap), but eyes greyish brown and having light brown small upper (lacking facets) portions, and antennal flagellum as well as small scales on dorsolateral parts of two posterior tergites and on dorsal half of cerci slightly darkened (greyish-brownish) (Figs 1, 2). Shape of head and pronotum as in Figs 1–3; fore and middle femora clearly longer than pronotum (Fig. 1); hind femur almost twice longer than previous femora; fore and middle tibiae with one short and thin ventroapical spur; hind tibia with six rather long apical spurs (middle inner spur reaching distal half of hind basitarsus, dorsal inner and middle outer spurs almost equal in length but distinctly shorter than previous one, dorsal outer and ventral inner spurs slightly shorter than latter spurs, and ventral outer spur shortest but somewhat longer than spurs of fore and middle tibiae), with two rows of sparse and very small dorsal denticles as well as with seta-like spinules between these denticles (Figs 4, 5); claws moderately long and thin (Fig. 4). Anal plate almost square but with roundly convex posterior edge, and with a pair of longitudinal stripes of setae located near each other and somewhat not reaching this edge (Figs 8, 9); each paraproctal hook with distal lamellar part leaf-like as well as having one small dorsolateral lobe and a few thin ventrolateral spinules (these spinules directed more or less backwards), and with one very small dorsal lobule between previous lobe and base of this hook (Figs 8–10); posteromedian lobule of genital plate very strongly curved upwards and with truncate apex (Figs 9–12); genitalia as in Figs 6, 7.</p><p>Female unknown.</p><p>Length in mm. Body 5; pronotum 1.7; fore femora 2.1; hind femora 4.3; hind tibiae 3.5; hind tarsi 2.6.</p><p>Remark. One species of Cycloptiloides from Guinea ( C. lamottei Chopard, 1955) is with “genitalia” having a pair of spinose structures slightly similar to the lamellar distal parts of the male paraproctal hooks in B. paraproctalis sp. nov. (Chopard, 1955: fig. 40); if these structures are paraproctal hooks (but not genitalia), C. lamottei may be a primitive relative of this species that preserved the tympana and male tegmina.</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/0C2D7D761B0EFFB1C3A0F936C822B0D4	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.
