E271879CFFE5581AFF00FF62FEBCB990.taxon	discussion	Remarks. This new species belongs to the kuznetzovi species group, because setae JV 4 are present. Differences between Eharius karuti and the other members of the kuznetzovi species group are given in Table 1 and Table 2. In their revision of the tribe Kampimodromini Kolodochka, Chant & McMurtry (2003) mentioned that Eharius species do not have the dorsal setae serrated but rather setiform and whip-like (except for Z 5). However, this new species has dorsal setae j 3, z 2, z 4, Z 1, Z 4, Z 5, s 4, S 2, and r 3 serrated in their apical half and knobbed apically. Many other morphological characters such as the absence of S 4 and ZV 3, dorsal reticulation running parallel to length of the shield, cup-shaped calyx of spermatheca, short peritreme, a few teeth on fixed digit, and smooth movable digit, are identical to the genus Eharius. a from 11 specimens; b from 10 specimens; c from Döker et al.
