Remarks

• Structure: Body of adult female elongate-oval, 0.68-0.71 mm long, 0.32-0.35 mm wide. antennae 6 segmented; all segments with few setae, second segment with 1 sensory pore, segment III almost parallel sided, segment VI with apical seta and with 4 sensory falcate setae, segments IV and V each with single falcate seta. Frontal tubercles present. Eyes present on ventral margin. Venter: Labium 2 segmented, segments II and III apparently fused; basal segment not well developed, with 1 pair of robust setae. Stylet loop much longer than body. Legs well developed; tarsal digitules knobbed, claw digitules slightly knobbed. Mid- and hindcoxae with spinulae on anterior surfaces, hindcoxae with large irregularly-shaped translucent pores on posterior surface. Each trochanter with 2 sensory pores on each surface. Claws each with a dentible. all legs with a few setae, all flagellate, and with a sensory pore on tarsus near articulation with tibia. Spiracles with a group of quinquelocular pores present near each spiracular opening. Quinquilocular pores of 2 sizes; smaller pores scattered sparsely over much of surface but most abundant on posterior abdominat segments; larger pores present in marginal groups on abdominal segments V-VIII. Spine-like setae scattered submarginally on abdomen, with finer spinose setae medially on abdomen. Flagellate setae present on head and thorax. Cruciform pores absent. Macrotubular ducts of 2 sizes, larger only on the last abdominal sternites, smaller ducts present ona ll segments; all ducts with a sclerotized rim surrounding orifice, particularly discernible on larger ducts; inner ductule of larger type of duct longer than duct, ending in a flower-shaped gland. Ventral anal lobe with a hair-like subapical seta, plus a similar suranal seta. Dorsum: Setae robust, spine-like, rather variable in size, present mostly in sinble rows across segments, plus 1 or 2 present on margin of each segment; these not differentiated from larger dorsal setae. Macrotubular ducts absent. Microtubular ducts present with a normal orifice; scattered among dorsal setae. Quinquelocular pores of larger type, similar to those on venter, present in 13 compact clusters marginally; all on sclerotised areas of derm. Anal ring dorsal, well developed with a single row of pores plus 6 anal ring setae. Anal lobes well developed, each as wide as long, heavily sclerotized, with 2 spine-like setae on inner margin, plus 1 spine-like seta on outer margin. Cauda present. Most of dorsal surface covered in minute, slightly sclerotized nodules. (Kozár, et al., 2009)
