description
Description (male) SIZE. Diameter 3.4 mm, 74 podous rings, no apodous rings in front of telson. COLOUR. Overall greyish brown, posterior part of metazonites amber, a clear yellow dorsal stripe. Telson dark brown, legs yellow. ANAL VALVES. Only a tiny indication of a dorsal spine, no ventral spine or ‘ corner’; margins not raised, each with 3 sessile setae. LIMBUS (Fig. 17 D). With pointed-triangular, striate lobes, ca twice as long as broad. LEGS. Postfemoral and tibial pads well-developed on anterior post-gonopodal legs, diminishing and disappearing towars posterior. STERNUM 9. (Fig. 18 H). Subquadratic, with a transverse depression slightly below middle. GONOPOD COXA (Fig. 17 A – C). Proplica (PP) slender, almost parallel-sided, simple, with a relatively large proplical lobe (PPL) distally and a lateral short, triangular process (LCS) ca at same level. Metaplica (MP) simple, with a poorly demarcated basal metaplical flange (MF), subdistally with a posteriad, rounded triangular process (mtp). Cucullus (CU) triangular, no fingerlike process facing proplical lobe. GONOPOD TELOPODITE (Fig. 18 A – G). Arculus 90 °. Torsotope (TT) extended, post-torsal narrowing obscured by long, stout post-torsal spine (PTS) making more than a full turn around post-torsal area. Solenomere (SLM) shorter than, and nested in cavity of telomere, taeniate, pointed, with stout basal solenomeral spine (BSS) and a subdistal flange (fl) on posterior side. Telomere (TM) relatively simple, curved podshaped, forming a regular 180 ° curve; external surface smooth, internally with several irregular membranes.

diagnosis
