Carabodes (Klapperiches) willmanni Bernini View in CoL

Body measurements. Range of length 350-470 μm, width 220-270 μm (n=8).

Prodorsum ( Figs 6b, c View Figure 6 ). Rostrum round; rostral and lamellar setae broad and curved inward; interlamellar setae 30 μm long, arcuate, tapering to the tip, rod-shaped and straight; the interlamellar region a network structure consisting of small spaces (pores); sensillus short-stalked (10 μm), club- shaped (25 μm) at the tip, broadly slit in the middle of the head region.

Notogaster ( Figs 6a View Figure 6 , 7a, b View Figure 7 ). Dorsosejugal furrow absent. The surface of the notogaster is covered with rounded bumps (tubercles) varying between 7-10 μm. Seven pairs of notogaster setae lanceolate and the setae p 1-3 short and thin. The length of notogastral setae varies between 15-20 μm.

Ventral region ( Fig. 6d View Figure 6 ). The subcapitulum diarthric and the mentum region have a small porous pattern. Like the mentum region, the epimeral region has a small porous pattern. The distribution of the setae in the epimeral region 3–1–3–3. The genital plate is 53 μm long and 47 μm wide and bears four pairs of setae. The anal plate is 53 μm long, 66 μm wide and has two pairs of setae. The genitoanal area is covered with a circular pitted pattern.
