            <p> Thulinius nomen novum </p>
            <p> Diagnosis. Mouth opening with 12 small, partially fused peribuccal lamellae (Fig. 1 A) surrounded by six peribuccal lobes, sometimes subdivided into a larger number of irregular sublobes (Fig. 1 B); crest­shaped apophyses for the insertion of the stylet muscles on the buccal tube (Fig. 1 C), claws of  Isohypsibius ­ type (Fig. 1, E,F,G). </p>
            <p>Etymology. Dedicated to Gustav Thulin, an excellent Swedish researcher.</p>
            <p> Type species.  Isohypsibius stephaniae Pilato, 1974</p>
            <p> Composition.  T. stephaniae (Pilato, 1974) ,  T. ruffoi Bertolani, 1981 ,  T. augusti (Murray, 1907)</p>
            <p> Remarks. The three species are characterized by a buccal armature with a posterior band of fine teeth, followed by a line of bigger round teeth (Fig. 1 A,B), instead of transverse mucrones, as in several other genera of  Hypsibiidae, Macrobiotdae and  Eohypsibiidae , and by rows of macroplacoids, whose curvatures resemble a Grecian urn (Fig. 1 D). The species differ together mainly for the shape of the cuticular structures of the legs.  Thulinius ruffoi (Fig. 1 F) differs from  T. stephaniae (Fig. 1 G) in having thinner claws with longer tapering basal tract, lunules evident and a less prominent cuticular bar below the claws of the first three pair of legs (other than for a more slender body).  Thulinius augusti differs from the other two species by the presence of a particularly long and thin basal tract of the claw, especially in the external one, from  T. stephaniae also by a weaker cuticular bar below the claws of the first three pair of legs, and from  T. ruffoi also by the absence of lunules. The subdivision of the lobes into sub­lobes (Fig. 1 B) is another possible difference between  T. augusti and the other two species. </p>
