Remarks

• Systematics: Danzig & Gavrilov-Zimin (2015) transferred Neotrionymus caudatus to Metadonopus due to the "absence of cerarii." Adult female body broadly oval, up to 3 mm long. Antennae 6-segmented. Antennae and legs small in comparison to body; hind coxae enlarged, with several large translucent pores; the same type of pores forming zones on cuticle around hind coxae. Anal apparatus with reduced number of pores and without spinulae. Circuli 5 in number, round. (Danzig & Gavrilov-Zimin, 2015)
• General Remarks: Good description and illustration of the adult female given by Borchsenius (1958).
