Systematics: Newsteadia loebli is similar to N. topali, but differs in having high number of setose setae on the apical segment of the antennae, by the absence of long tubular ducts and multilocular pores (Kozár & Konczné Benedicty, 1999a).
Structure: Adult female 1.1 mm long, 0.8 mm wide. Antennae 3-segmented. Dorsum with wax plates covering only part of surface. Spines at margin of wax plate elongate. Hair-like setae present in marginal clusters near posterior edges of marginal wax plates, and near anterolateral and anteromedial edge of each dorsomedial wax plate (Kozár & Konczné Benedicty, 1999a).
