Figs 12 - 18 View Figs 12- 18

Material examined. Holotype: locality Z-4 (see Material and methods).

Type deposition. The holotype (alcohol) is deposited in the collection of the Adam Mickiewicz University , Pozna ñ, Poland .

Diagnosis. Double lateral carinae of prodorsum. Very long, smooth setae c 3 of notogaster. Aggenital setae ag 2 longer than setae ag 1. Two pairs of anal and two pairs of adanal setae present.

Description

Measurements. Prodorsum: length 341, width 293, height 105. Prodorsal setae: rostral setae 58, lamellar setae 91, sensilli 212, interlamellar setae 56, exobothrodial setae 13. Notogaster: length 687, width 545, height 535. Notogastral setae: c 1 91, c 3 172, h 1 99, p 1 104. Ventral region:genitoaggenital plate 202 ×50, anal and adanal plates 328 × 60.

Integument. Integumental surface of body micropunctate.

Prodorsum ( Figs 12, 13 View Figs 12- 18 ). With two pairs of long lateral carinae reaching lateral margins of rostrum. Rostral and interlamellar setae short, erect, rough. Lamellar setae longer, procumbent and smooth. Sensilli long, filiform, attenuate, rough.

Notogaster ( Fig. 14 View Figs 12- 18 ). With short (c 1 <1 / 2 c 1 - d 1), rough setae except c 3 setae very long and smooth; setae c 1 and c 2 remote from anterior border; setae c 3 at border. Opisthonotal gland openings and five pairs of lyrifissures present.

Gnathosoma ( Figs 16, 17 View Figs 12- 18 ). Setae h of mentum considerably longer than their mutual distance. Palps three-segmented with setal formula: 2 - 2 - 8(+ω).

Anogenital region ( Figs 14, 15 View Figs 12- 18 ). Genitoaggenital plates each with nine pairs of setae, setae g 5 distanced from setae g 6. Aggenital setae ag 2 longer than setae ag 1. Two pairs of anal and two pairs of adanal setae present. Anal setae an 1 placed in posterior part of anal plates anteriorly of setae ad 1. Lyrifissures iad placed at the level of ad 2 setae.

Legs ( Fig. 18 View Figs 12- 18 ). Tarsi heterotridactylous. Femora I with distinct distal spine. Formulae of leg setation and solenidia (without tarsi): I (1 - 4 - 5 - 5) [2 - 1], II (1 - 4 - 4 - 3) [1 - 1], III (3 - 2 - 3 - 3) [1 - 1], IV (3 - 2 - 2 - 3) [1 - 1].

Etymology. The prefix para is Latin meaning “near” and refers to the similarity of the new species with Indotritia bellingeri Niedbała & Schatz, 1996 .

Comparison. All morphological characters are similar to Indotritia bellingeri Niedbała & Schatz, 1996 except the generic character – incomplete furrow present between genital and aggenital plates in Indotritia .
