新喀里多尼亚有一个特有的opiliofauna与两个命名的物种Triaenonychidae，17 Troglosironidae和8 Zalmoxidae。因此，最近在大陆地发现的新凤蝶科令人惊讶，需要正式描述一个新属，我们在这里承担。Martensopsalis gen. nov.的特征是身体小，无骨，有独特的触须，在股骨的腹侧有尖的基部骨突，在髌骨的前外侧有远端骨突。该属独特的外部形态、简单的阴茎和独特的系统发育位置证明了新属的成立，其模式种为Martensopsalis dogny spec. nov.。除了模式产地，我们报告其他几个地方的推定同属，但未描述的种。
New Caledonia has an endemic opiliofauna with two named species of Triaenonychidae, 17 Troglosironidae and eight Zalmoxidae. The recent finding of Neopilionidae on Grande Terre was thus surprising, and required the formal description of a new genus, which we undertake here. Martensopsalis gen. nov. is characterized by a small unsclerotized body with a unique palp with a pointed basal apophysis on the ventral side of the femur and with a distal apophysis on the prolateral side of the patella. The distinct external morphology, simple penis and unique phylogenetic position justify the erection of the new genus with Martensopsalis dogny spec. nov. as its type species. In addition to the type locality we report several other localities of putative congeneric, yet undescribed species.
