Maxillary outer lobe with two chaetae, basal one short, thick and ciliated, plus three mic on basal plate (Fig.5C). Md. with five basal and four apical teeth, Mx. of generic type. Ventral head chaetotaxy as in Fig. 5F.</p><p>Thorax. Dorsal body chaetotaxy as in Figs 6A and 6C. Th.

Unguis with basal paired inner, one unpaired inner and an outer teeth, unguiculus excavate, tenent hair ciliated, 1.35 times the length of unguis (Fig. 5G).</p><p>Abdomen. Chaetotaxy as in Figs 6A and 6C. Abd. I with two ‘m’ mac (m3–4), a ms present near m4. Abd. II with three ‘m’ mac (m3, m3e, m5) and a ‘p’ mes (p6), two bothriotricha (m2, a5) present. Two ‘p’ chaetae (p6, pm6) present laterally on Abd. III, with three bothriotricha (a5, m2, m5) and a sensory chaeta (Fig. 6C). Abd.

Mucro tridentate (v2 absent), dorsally a little longer than the striated dental appendage (Fig. 4E, 6F).</p><p>Etymology. The term ‘ aurantiamaculata ’ is derived from two Latin words ‘aurantiacus’ and ‘maculatus’, which denotes ‘orange colour patches’ of on the body of the new species.</p><p>Remarks. Salina (S.) aurantiamaculata sp. nov. belongs to the celebensis -group due to the presence of s/2/ s/1 mac on Abd. II (Yoshii 1981), lesser dorsal body chaetae, and a relatively shorter mucro (Mitra 1973, 1993). The new species possesses patches of uniform bright orange pigmentation similar to S. (S.) maculipenis Oliveira &amp; Cipola, 2018 and S. (S.) speciosa Kinoshita, 1917 . However, they are distinct in body pigment pattern and chaetotaxy (see Table 2). We observed that in Th. II, a ‘p’ chaeta (p3) becomes smaller in some adult specimens (likely a mes). Comparison between S. (S.) aurantiamaculata sp. nov. and other Indian species of the genus is given in the Table 1.</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/3E5B2F5A047A2F5BFF44FEA1FEE0F834	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

Mucro superficially trilobed (Figs 7E, 9C).</p><p>Etymology. The pigment pattern of the new species resembles Salina (S.) montana (Imms, 1912) Salmon, 1957, therefore, the name ‘ pseudomontana’ is proposed.</p><p>Remarks. Salina (S.) pseudomontana sp. nov. resembles S. (S.) montana and S. (S.) celebensis (Schaffer, 1898) in color pattern, though it markedly differs in chaetotaxy. Salina (S.) montana and S. (S.) celebensis have 6, 4, 3 and 5, 2, 2 central mac on Th. III, Abd. I and Abd. II, respectively, whereas the new species has 9, 6, 4 mac on the respective segments. On the other hand, the new species possesses a few similarities in Th. II and Th.III chaetotaxy with S. (S.) yosiii Salmon, 1964 and S. (S.) javana (Handschin, 1928) . Even so, the new species differs from them in the pigment pattern of the body viz. Salina (S.) pseudomontana sp. nov. exhibits square boxes of blue pigment centrally on Th.III–Abd. I, whereas S. (S.) yosiii have trapezoidal patches placed laterally. Salina (S.) insignis (Handschin, 1928) from Java and the new species also share a somewhat similar pigment pattern, but unlike the new species, the former species has 2 square–shaped spots on the Abd. IV and tergal margins without pigment. A comparison between of the Indian species of Salina, including the new species, is provided in Table 1.</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/3E5B2F5A04732F4FFF44FEA1FAC7FA74	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

II with 16 mac (m1, m4, m4i, m4p, m7, p1–5, p1a, p1i, p1e, p2p, p3e, p4a, 1 unnamed), one ms and one sens al. Th. III with two ‘a’ (a1, a3) and nine ‘p’ mac (p1–5, p1ip, p1p, p3p, p3a), plus one lateral ‘m’ mac (m7). Abd. I with six mac (m2, m3, a3, m4, m5, one unnamed). Abd. II with four mac (m3, m3e, m5, m6) and two bothriotricha (m2, a5). Abd. III as in Fig. 13D. Abd. IV with 14 central mac (A1, A3–6, Ae1, B3–5, Be1, Be2, C1, D1) and 9 lateral mac (E1–3, F1–3, F3p, Fe2–3, Fe6) (Fig. 13B). Ratio of unguis: tenent hair 1: 1.17. Unguis with basal paired and a single inner teeth (Fig. 12D). Trochanteral organ with 51–54 spine-like chaetae. VT with anterior 3+3 large ciliated mac, 1+1 mes and 15–16 anterior smooth chaetae on each side, each lateral flap with 6 mes and 26 mic, posterior side with 10–12 mic on each side (Fig. 13E). Manubrium: dens ratio 1: 1.28. Manubrial plaque with 3 chaetae and 2 psp. Mucro lobed into three distinct teeth (Fig. 12C).</p><p>Remarks. S. (S.) striata closely resembles S. (S.) tricolor (Handschin, 1928) in color pattern (Fig. 10G) and chaetotaxy (Mitra 1973), being difficult to distinguish these two species. Here we provide S. (S.) striata chaetotaxy and image of a characteristic ‘M’ shaped mark on its head (Fig. 12B), which could ease in separating this species from close relative S. (S.) tricolor and S. (S.) vietnamensis Stach, 1965 .Although, S. (S.) vietnamensis has a s/2/s/1 central mac pattern on Abd. II and 3+3 mac on Abd. I, it differs from S. (S.) tricolor and S. (S.) striata, which exhibit s/2/s/2 pattern on Abd. I (see Table 1).</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/3E5B2F5A046F2F4EFF44FD28FD94F818	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.
