DD38826D696DBD4C5811FF09FAB79F82.taxon	diagnosis	Differential diagnosis: Ch. platyrhynchos sp. nov. is morphologically similar to Ch. kanduli Bochkov & Mironov, 1998. In females of both species, the hysteronotal shield is present and aggenital setae ag 1 and ag 3 are unequal in length. The new species differs from Ch. kanduli by the following characters: in females of Ch. platyrhynchos sp. nov., the propodonotal shield is distinctly punctate on the whole surface; each lateral branch of the peritremes has 13 – 16 chambers; the lengths of idiosomal setae ve, se, and c 2 are 80 – 100, 180 – 230, and 160 – 215, respectively; setae si 110 – 140, always longer than the distance between setal bases si – se. In females of Ch. kanduli, the propodonotal shield is sparsely punctate near bases of setae vi, ve, and si; each lateral branch of the peritremes has 10 – 13 chambers; the lengths of idiosomal setae ve, se, and c 2 are 45 – 65, 135 – 165, and 115 – 145, respectively; setae si 55 – 100, subequal or shorter than distance between setal bases si – se (based on comparative material).	en	Tymcio, Tomasz, Kavetska, Katarzyna, Czyż, Michał J., Skoracki, Maciej (2013): Ontogeny of Chenophila platyrhynchos sp. nov.
