Etymology

Named after numerous long setae on tergite TIX.

Diagnostic characters

Clinotanypus setosus sp. nov. differs from other Clinotanypus species by the combination of the following characters. Male: TIX with 58 setae, anal point slightly bilobed, gonostylus with 9 setae. Pupa: base of scar with shagreenation, segment VII with 5 taeniae and anal lobe 906 µm long. Larva: shape of mandible and by its row of setae at the lateral outer margin; palp segment and procercus length.
