Diagnosis

Palpal tibial claw bifid, palpal accessory claw entire, cheliceral bases striated and punctate, fn Ti 12-13- 13.

Larva (Holotype) — Idiosoma oval, dorsal surface with 46 setae with fine barbs and on platelets ( Fig. 1 ). Scutum length and width equal, scutum punctate with 2 pairs of scutalae; PL longer than AL; both with fine barbs. Anterior pair of sensilla ( AM) very short and smooth; posterior pair of sensilla (S) with fine barbs throughout the length ( Fig. 1 ). Each side of scutum with one eye, circular, not on platelets; eyes 15, ocular ring 20 across .

Ventral surface of idiosoma bearing 6 sternalae, 4 setae between coxae I and II, 16 barbed setae between coxae II and III and 19 setae behind coxae III. All ventral setae with fine barbs. Sternalae more or less equal in length. Coxae I–III each with one seta; coxala 1b longer than other coxalae; coxala 2b about as long as coxala 3b; all coxalae barbed ( Fig. 2 ). NDV = 46 + 39 = 85.

Gnathosoma with smooth galealae (Ga) and anterior hypostomalae (aHy) and barbed posterior hypostomalae (pHy) ( Fig. 3 ). Palpal femur with 2 barbed and genu with 1 nude and 2 barbed setae ( Fig. 3 ). Tibia with 1 barbed and 1 nude seta and an entire accessory claw.

Tarsus with 7 setae including one barbed and four nude normal setae, a solenidion and an eupathidium ( Fig. 3 ). fPp = 0-BB-BBN-BNN2- BNNNN ωζ. Palps and ventral gnathosoma with fine punctation. Cheliceral bases striated and punctate. Supracoxal seta of palp (eP) 5 long.

Leg segmentation formula: 7-7-7. Leg setal formula: Leg I: Ta- 1 ω, 1 ε, 2 ζ, 1Cp, 24n; Ti- 2 ’, 1 κ, 12n; Ge- 1 σ, 1 κ, 11n; TFe- 8n; BFe- 4n; Tr- 2n; Cx- 1n (+ 1 eP) ( Fig. 4A ). Leg II: Ta- 1 ω, 2 ζ, 1Cp, 21n; Ti- 2 ’, 13n; Ge- 1 σ, 1 κ, 9n; TFe- 5n; BFe- 4n; Tr- 2n; Cx- 1n ( Fig. 4B ). Leg III: Ta- 1 ζ, 18n; Ti- 1 ’, 13n; Ge- 1 σ, 9n; TFe-

5n; BFe- 4n; Tr- 2n; Cx- 1n ( Fig. 4C ). All tarsi with two falciform claws and a claw-like empodium.

Measurements are given in Table 1.

Etymology
