Posterior median tectum present divided by overlapping lobes. Ten pairs of notogastral setae and 9 (an unpaired posteromedian one) poroese areas present. Subcapitulum without mental tectum. Epimeral setal formula: 3 - 1 - 2 - 1. Anogenital setal formula: 6 - 1 - 2 - 2. Postanal porose area absent. Palp setal formula: 2 - 1 - 2 - 9 + 1. All tarsi monodactylous. Solenidion phi 2 arising in front of phi 1 on small enantiophyses, phi 1 on the surface of the segment. Tibia II with large, anterodorsal apophysis.

80B2DFD3F0A5D7E32DB8BA39874B6051.taxon	discussion	Remarks: Te new genus certainly belongs in the family Mycobatidae. It was Behan-Pelletier (1988) who compiled a table sowing the most important features for separating the genera (Table I: 1 - 19). In the new genus the mental tectum of the subcapitulum is missing (1), lamellae are removed from each other, placed rather marginally (2), translamella absent (3), setae in arising on ridges (4), enantiophyses present (5), lenticulus absent (6), notogaster with a small medial process (7), medial process convex (8), thickened bands bordering medial process (9), notogastral setae fine, but conspicuous (10), pteromorpha without hinge (11, 12), posterior notogastral tectum divided (13), pedotectum I concave basally (14), thickened band posteriorly of genital plates absent (15), notogastral porose areas present (16), tibia I without anterodorsal small apophysis, solenidion phi 1 arising on the surface of the segment (17, 18), sexual dimorphism absent (19). The immovable pteromorpha, the lack of a subcapitular mental tectum and the divided nature of the posterior notogastral tectum are the features which class the taxon closest to Zachvatkinibates Saldybina, 1973. However, the shape of the lamellae and their distance apart, together with the lack of a translamella and the presence of an unpaired posteromedian porose area clearly differentiate the taxon. It may, furthermore, be separated from all other mycobatid taxa by its tripartite rostral apex and by the rostral seta being far removed from the apex of the tutorium. My opinion about suprageneric associations in the family Mycobatidae and a key to the supraspecific taxa will be given in the next paper discussing Swiss Mycobatidae (Mahunka, in prep.).	en	Mahunka, S.

F907555D9B0459AB5281E44684FC08CC.taxon	description	Measurements: Length of body: 262 - 278 µm, width of body: 163 - 179 ym. Prodorsum: Rostrum tripartite, divided by two deep, narrow incisions. Lamellae well developed, originating far from each other, placed conspicuously laterally. Lamellar cusps short, truncate, bearing long, ciliated lamellar setae, which reach to the rostral apex. Translamella absent (Fig. 3). Bothridia simple cup-shaped. Sensillus large, wide, reaching over the lamellar cusp. Its surface covered by small acicula, at the distal end slightly split, or undulate. On the basal part of the prodorsum a pair of well sclerotised tubercles continuing in a narrowing crest along the bothridium, connected by a transversal bridge (Fig. 5). Interlamellar seta arising on them, it is comparatively long, but not reaching over the level of lamellar cusp, hardly ciliate. A pair of enantiophyses behind or between them also observable. Lateral part of podosoma (Fig. 6): Tutorium lamelliform, with short, sharp cusp, behind it 1 - 2 lateral teeth present. Rostral seta arising separately, before it, on a short tubercle. Genal tooth strongly narrowing anteriorly, sharply pointed, reaching over the insertion point of rostral seta. Pedotectum I very large, covering acetabula I, convex anteriorly and deeply concave basally. Porose area in the humeral region indistinct, of indefinite shape. Exostigmatal seta minute, arising at the basis of pedotectum I. Pedotectum II small, custodium very large, reaching anteriorly to level of pedotectum II. Discidium also large, circumpedal carina long, reaching to the lateral margin of ventral plate. Notogaster: Anterior tectum of notogaster slightly convex medially, completely covering the bothridia and the interbothridial region. Pteromorpha without desclerotization line. Ten pairs of comparatively short, fine, and smooth, but conspicous notogastral setae; four pairs of porose areas in the normal position, and an unpaired median one posteriorly, anterior of setae h 1 (Fig. 4) (sexual dimorphism absent). Posterior notogastral tectum divided by lobes, this feature sometimes indistinct. Ventral region (Fig. 2): Subcapitulum normal, without mental tectum, Epimeral surface smooth, and only some sigilla visible. Epimeral setae short, finely ciliate or roughened. Epimeral setal formula: 3 - 1 - 2 - 1 (I was not able to find setae 3 c and 4 c). Anogenital setae very short, simple, anogenital setal formula: 6 - 1 - 2 - 2, setae ad 3 absent. Lyrifissures iad in paraanal position. Legs: All legs monodactylous. Femora of legs with crests ventrally, which are narrow on legs I-III and broad on femora IV. Most of these segments are rugose. Tibia of leg II (Fig. 8) with a large spur in the anterodorsal position. Tibia of leg I without apophysis, solenidion phi 1 arising on the surface of the segment, behind phi 2. Solenidion phi 1 of leg I (Fig. 7) exceptionally long, flagellate. Setae (it) apparently absent on tarsus I and II. Leg setal formulae: I: 1 - 5 - 3 + 1 - 4 + 2 - 16 + 2 - 1 (Fig. 7) II: 1 - 4 - 2 + 1 - 4 + 1 - 14 + 2 - 1 (Fig. 8) IV: 1 - 2 - 2 - 3 + 1 - 12 - 1.	en	Mahunka, S.
