Subgenus Cnemidophyllum s. str.
Brief diagnosis. Upper rostral tubercle much larger (wider) than lower one (as in Figs 107, 111 View Figs 106–117 ); pronotum with more or less low dorsolateral keels and convex or shortly (but somewhat obliquely) truncated ventral edge of each lateral lobe (approximately as in Figs 108–110 View Figs 106–117 ); middle and hind tibiae with distinctly widened proximal portions ( Figs 104, 105 View Figs 83–105 ); male abdominal apex with diverse posteromedian process on last tergite; female abdominal apex with a pair of large posterior lobules on ninth tergite, a pair of similar lobules on tenth (last) tergite, a pair of small additional lobules between latter ones, and very small posterior unpaired lobule on eighth and seventh tergites (almost as in Fig. 133 View Figs 126–144 ).
Composition (in original binomens). Posidippus lineatus Brunner-Wattenwyl, 1891 (described from “Alto Amazonas”; distributed after Emsley (1970) from Peru and Bolivia to French Guiana and Brazil); C. eximium Hebard, 1927 (described from Nicaragua; distributed also in other countries of Central America); C. oblitum Costa Lima, 1933 (described from southeast Brazil; after Emsley (1970), distributed also in French Guiana); C. longissimum Emsley, 1970 (described from Surinam).
Besides, C. (C.) tani Cadena-Castañeda, 2016 (from Colombia) was originally included in this subgenus, but it is more probable that this species belongs to the subgenus Peucestophyllum Emsley, 1970 , because it has the middle and hind tibiae almost without widenings.
