Lohmannella curvimandibulata ( Petrova, 1969) View in CoL

Diagnosis. Ds-2 on OC. Ds-3 on membranous cuticle. One dorsal seta on PE. Female with 4 Pgs and 6 Sgs. Male with ca.46 Pgs and 6 Sgs. Tr I with 1 seta; Bf I with 1 seta; Tf I with 7 setae; Gn I with 6 setae; Tb I with 7 setae, 6 Bp setae; Ta I with 3 dorsal setae. Lc I smooth (?). Idiosoma length 420 in female, 390 in male. Idiosoma width 276 ( idiosoma length 420) in female, 240 in male. Gnathosoma length 231 in female, 286 in male. Ratio of gnathosoma to idiosoma 0.57 in male ( idiosoma length 390). Ratio of P-2 to P-1 4.00.

Remarks. The species was described by Petrova (1969) under the name of Porolohmannella curvimandibulata . Bartsch (1996a) moved this species into the genus Lohmannella . This species is simiar to L. cvetkovi and L. stammeri . The idiosoma is more elongate than that in L. cvetkovi . AD is rectangular with round anterior and concave posterior margins. Chelicera is strongly bending. Bartsch (2007b) suggested to re-examine the specific status of L. curvimandibulata , L. cvetkovi , and L. stammerii . Female, male, and nymphs (stages are unclear) are known.

Habitat. Inland freshwater: In spring and well.

Distribution. Palearctic Realm: Polsko Kosovo [ Bulgaria].
