Reappraisal of Pronematinae
As presently conceived, Pronematinae is composed of 19 genera, depending upon a definition of the validity of the synonymy of Pausia Kuznetsov & Livshitz, 1972 under Naudea Meyer
& Rodrigues, 1966. The latter two genera were synonymized by Baker and Delfinado (1976),
who considered them to differ only in the number of opisthosomal setae (ten pairs in Pausia and nine in Naudea ). André (1980) considered both valid, without referring to Baker and Delfinado (1976) and providing a brief characterization of each.
Thus, the structure of this section starts with a characterization of the sole species included in Naudea , followed by a comparative characterization of the genera, subgenera (of Proctotydaeus Berlese, 1911 ) and species of this subfamily, ending with the presentation of a key to separate the genera and subgenera.
Our examination of the holotype female, one paratype female and the paratype male of the single known species of Naudea led to the following characterization.
