Diagnosis
Gonofemorite strongly curved, distal part somewhat swollen and membraneous. Postfemoral region demarcated from femorite by obvious cingulum, and bent continuously forming almost a complete circle with femorite. Postfemoral regions consisting of a thick, strong and free solenomere, and an extremely short solenophore (= tibiotarsus).
Type species
Riukiupeltis jamashinai Verhoeff, 1939
Remarks
This genus is relatively close to the genus Chamberlinius Wang, 1956, however, it definitely differs in gonopod conformation: femorite without lamina; solenophore very short, thick, and without any basal processes.
