Dasongius
Pauropodinae with body subcylindrical. Anterior margin of ventral antennal branch s shorter than posterior margin, globulus with a short stalk. Bothriotricha T5 straight, strong, with sparse and long pubescence in proximal part. Tergum VI pubescent in posterior part. Adults with 9 pairs of locomotory legs, 1st and last pairs 5-segmented, remaining pairs 6-segmented. Pygidium quadrangular, elongated and much longer than tergum VI; surface of pygidial tergum highly modified as engraved honeycombed pentagonal and tetragonal cellae; pygidial sternum with two pairs of setae, b1+b2 (Guo et al., 2010: 896[1]). The genus can easily be distinguished from all other genera of the family Pauropodidae by its unique engraved honeycomb-like structures on the tergum of the pygidium (Bu, 2021: 240[2]).
