Type material: The holotype female, on the right side of the slide (marked), one paratype female on the left side of the same slide, Ecuador , Quito (coll. J. BALOGH), No. QB B57. Deposited in the Hungarian Natural History Museum (Budapest, Hungary) .

Description: Body elongate oval. Slide-mounted specimen ( Fig. 10 ) 1.09 mm long and 0.64 mm wide. Antenna 5 segmented, the length of the segments: 1st – 53 µm, 2nd – 24 µm, 3rd – 46 µm, fourth – 24 µm, fifth – 82 µm long. There is one sensory pore on the 2nd segment of the antenna. The 3rd segment is almost parallel sided. The apical segment has four falcate sensory setae. One narrower, 38 µm long, blunt sensory seta situated near base of the segment. Most segments of the antenna have a few hair-like setae; the longest one is 29 µm. Eye well visible. Anal lobe is slightly developed with three long, hair-like setae.

Venter. Labium appears two-segmented, 96 µm long. Stylet loop three times longer than labium. Cephalic plate visible. Legs robust: coxa of anterior legs 72 µm, trochanter 48 µm femur 132 µm, tibia 84 µm, tarsus 79 µm, and claw 38 µm. Coxa of middle legs 82 µm, trochanter 54 µm, femur 122 µm, tibia 86 µm, tarsus 74 µm, and claw 31 µm long. Coxa of posterior legs 82 µm, trochanter 62 µm, femur 151 µm, tibia 108 µm and tarsus 86 µm, and claw 41 µm, tarsal digitules absent, claw digitules short, 8 µm long. Trochanter with two pores on each side. Claw without denticle. Legs with few hair-like setae, tibia and tarsus with 29 µm long setae. On the ventral segments few tritubular pores. Multilocular pores with 8–12 pores, on all segments. The diameter of anterior spiracles 18 µm. Venter with a small number of scattered hair-like setae. Circulus absent. Tubular ducts absent. Trilocular pores scattered on venter, 3 µm in diameter. On the segments IV and V, a group of special trilocular pores, 3 µm in diameter. Internal genitalia, resembling an elongated cross-shaped structure, as long as the width of one segment; middle part of vagina enlarged bearing ductules of vaginal glands.

Dorsum. Ostioles present, sclerotized. Multilocular pores present on all segments. Anal ring oval, 58 µm wide and 53 µm long. Anal ring with six, 80 µm long hair-like setae. Anal ring pores (cells) typical, few, with spicules on pores of outer row. Tritubular pores of one size, 3–6 on each segment, tubes 9 µm long and 4 µm wide. Tubular ducts present, 4 µm long and 3 µm wide. Hair-like setae 31 µm long, trilocular pores 3 µm wide, scattered on the dorsum.

Distribution: Ecuador ( Fig. 1 ).

Etymology. The species is named after the high number of multilocular pores on both sides of the body.

Affinities: This species differs from all others having high number of thick and short tubular ducts on both surfaces.

Four paratype females, on three slides, from the same collection as the holotype, No. IQ B2, B18, B28. Two paratype females, Peru , Iquitos, Locuna Quistocodia, No. IQ B8. Three paratype females, Peru , Iquitos, Sungarococha, No. IQ B10, B35. Types are deposited in the Hungarian Natural History Museum (Budapest, Hungary) .

Description: Body elongate oval. Slide-mounted specimen ( Fig. 11 ) 1.24 mm long and 0.98 mm wide. Antenna 5 segmented, the fifth segment with slight division line, the length of the segments: 1st – 55 µm, 2nd – 17 µm, 3rd – 41 µm, fourth – 34 µm, fifth – 72 µm long. There is one sensory pore on the 2nd segment of the antenna. The 3rd segment is almost parallel sided. The apical segment has four falcate sensory setae, and one narrow, 43 µm long, blunt seta. Most segments of the antenna have a few hair-like setae; the longest one is 24 µm. Eyes well visible. Anal lobe is slightly developed with three long, hair-like setae.

Venter. Labium appears two-segmented, 86 µm long. Stylet loop three times longer than labium. Cephalic plate visible. Legs robust: coxa of anterior legs 60 µm, trochanter 48 µm, femur 144 µm, tibia 101 µm, tarsus 79 µm, and claw 30 µm. Coxa of middle legs 84 µm, trochanter 58 µm, femur 146 µm, tibia 101 µm, tarsus 77 µm, and claw 31 µm long. Coxa of posterior legs 77 µm, trochanter 53 µm, femur 156 µm, tibia 137 µm and tarsus 84 µm, and claw 29 µm, tarsal digitules absent, claw digitules short, 7 µm long. Trochanter with two pores on each side. Claw without denticle. Legs with few hair-like setae, tibia and tarsus with 14 µm long setae. On the ventral segments few tritubular ducts on margin, the tubes 3 µm in diameter. Multilocular pores absent. The diameter of anterior spiracles 21 µm. Venter with few scattered hair-like setae. Circulus absent. Tubular ducts absent. Trilocular pores distributed on all segments. On the abdominal segments, four groups of special trilocular pores present, 4 µm in diameter. Internal genitalia, forming an elongated cross-shaped structure, as long as width of one segment; vagina at its middle part is weakly constricted just below of the vaginal glands.

Dorsum. Ostioles present, sclerotized. Multilocular pores absent. Anal ring oval, 42 µm wide and 38 µm long. Anal ring with six, 71 µm long hair-like setae. Anal ring pores (cells) typical, few, with spicules on pores of outer row. Tritubular ducts of one size, 2–3 on each segment, tubes 4 µm in diameter, 10 µm long. Tubular ducts absent.
