S. Clavier (RMNH).</p> <p>Diagnosis (Female unknown) — Posterior to the large postocularia plate two pairs of smaller plates present.</p> <p>Description — Male – Idiosoma dorsally 616 long and 494 wide, ventrally 680 long. Dorsal shield 567 long and 437 wide, with tightly fitting plates and platelets, consisting of a relatively small, anteriorly pointed plate with one pair of glandularia (dc-1), a large central plate (dc-2+3), 288 long and 275 wide, with the anteriorly located postocularia. These two unpaired plates surrounded by six platelets without glandularia and three pairs of small platelets, each with a glandularium (Figure 1A). Venter with five pairs of tightly fitting plates as well as two pairs of platelets. Genital field on an unpaired, anteriorly pointed plate with one pair of glandularia (pregen). Posterior to the latter plate a pair of small elongated plates without glandularia or setae, an unpaired elongated platelet with the excretory pore (postgen) and more posterior a small unpaired platelet (Figure 1B) and Vgl-3. Genital field 98 long and 129 wide, with numerous small acetabula. Near posterior margin of venter two pairs of bar-shaped sclerites, each with a glandularium. Length of P1-5: -, -, 50, 34, 18. P4 stocky (Figure 1C). Length of I-leg-4-6: 80, 90, 77. Length of IV-leg-4-6: 150, 102, 82. Legs without swimming setae.</p> <p>Female – Unknown.</p> <p>Etymology — Named for its wonderful appearance.</p> <p>Discussion — In males of this genus the genital field is lying on a plate with one pair of glandularia (Cxgl-2), in females Cxgl-2 are lying each on a small platelet. The new species is most close to R. testudo Lundblad, 1936, R. dividuus Lundblad, 1941 and R. armiger De Castro, Proctor &amp; Lofego, 2022. From these species the new species differs in the presence of two pairs of dorsal plates posterior to the large postocularia plate. Rhynchohydracarus testudo has only one pair of plates, R. dividuus and R. armiger have one pair of plates and an unpaired plate posteriorly to the postocularia plate. Moreover, the pair of small platelets without glandularia or setae posterior to the genital plate is absent in the forementioned species.</p> </div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/03F487E078260835AEF37B2E58046315	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

Clavier.</p> <p>Distribution — Surinam (Besseling 1949); French Guiana (this study).</p> <p>Remarks — Thus far only the male was known, and therefore a description is given below of the female.</p> <p>Description — Female – Idiosoma dorsally 551 long and 501 wide, ventrally 575 long. Dorsal and ventral shield present, both shields punctated. Dorsal shield with three pairs of glandularia, near Dgl-1 a short ridge (Figure 3A). An indistinct lineation visible on the dorsal shield. Coxae fused with ventral shield, suture lines of coxae incomplete; anterior coxae with short apodemes. Vgl-4 located medially of suture line Cx-III/IV (Figure 3B). Genital field 120 long, not incorporated in the ventral shield, with three pairs of acetabula. Length of P1-5: -, 80, 51, 104, 28. P2 ventrally with a stout seta on a short tubercle (Figure 3C). Length of I-leg-4-6:</p> <p>76, 84, 92 (till tip of segment). Length of IV-leg-4-6: 106, 108, 101. Terminal seta of IV-leg-6</p> <p>76 long (Figure 3D). III-leg-5 and IV-leg-4 with four swimming setae, III-leg-4 and IV-leg-5 with two swimming setae. I-III-leg claws with ventral clawlet.</p> <p>Remarks — Besseling (1949) stated that the ventral seta of P2 is inserted directly on the segment, without a setal tubercle. Examination of the holotype shows that this is not correct. The seta of P2 is inserted on a distinct setal tubercle. Besch (1969) described a second species of this subgenus, i.e. Limnesia magnipora Besch, 1969. The only difference we see with L. surinamensis is the ridge near Dgl-1, which is more near the anterolateral margin of the dorsal shield. However, we think this is due to the way Besch illustrated the species. L As. magnipora is in all other characters similar to L. surinamensis, we propose to synonymize the two species.</p> </div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/03F487E078220831AEF37A2758F663EC	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

S. Clavier (RMNH). Paratype: Same data as holotype (RMNH).</p> <p>Diagnosis — Suture line between Cx-III and Cx-IV very characteristic, with Cx-III not reaching midline of venter.</p> <p>Description — Male – Idiosoma dorsally 648 long and 535 wide, ventrally 689 long (but these measurements are an indication only as the integument is very soft). Dorsum without plates or platelets. Gnathosoma compact, 154 long and 127 high, rostrum relatively short with indistinct annulations, at least in lateral view (Figure 5B). Suture line between Cx-I and Cx-II incomplete. Suture line between Cx-III and Cx-IV very characteristic, with Cx-III medially not reaching midline of venter (Figure 5A). Genital field 120 long and 101 wide, with 15-16 pairs of acetabula; gonopore 42 long, narrowed anteriorly. Length of P1-5: 42, 122, 86, 130, 91 (P2 and</p> <p>P3 measured from the other palp). P4 ventrally with a tooth-like seta in the middle of segment (Figure 5C). Length of I-leg-4-6: 150, 176, 128 (till tip of segment). I-leg-5 anteroventrally with two long thin setae (but these are not swimming setae, figure 5D). Length of IV-leg-4-6: 219, 251, 184. Legs without swimming setae.</p> <p>Female: Idiosoma dorsally 810 long and 753 wide, ventrally 859 long (but these measurements are an indication only as the integument is very soft). Dorsum without plates or platelets. Gnathosoma compact, 196 long and 120 high, rostrum relatively short with annulations. Coxae as in male, coxal field 259 long and 275 wide. Genital field 156 long, genital plates 116 long, the latter nearly as long as gonopore, with approximately 21 pairs of acetabula (Figure 5E). Length of P1-5: 34, 130, 64, 153, 96 (P4 measured from the other palp). Palp as in male. Length of I-leg-4-6: 156, 178, 136. Length of IV-leg-4-6: 210, 251, 200.</p> <p>Etymology — Named after the type locality.</p> <p>Discussion — The shape of the suture line between Cx-III and Cx-IV is not found in any other Omartacarus species. Moreover, a tooth-like seta in the middle of P4 is not found in other Omartacarus species. The genus Omartacarus is typically an interstitial species. Although the type locality is a lake, the collection has probably been made in an area near the dam with some subterranean influence.</p> </div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/03F487E0782F083DAEF37E555FCE61EB	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

S. Clavier (RMNH). Paratypes: Two females, same data as holotype (RMNH).</p> <p>Diagnosis (Male unknown) — Genital plates slender; heavy medial seta of P4 not larger than ventral setae of P4.</p> <p>Description — Female – Idiosoma dorsally 786 (794-875) long and 664 (591-737) wide, ventrally 818 (810-859) long. Idiosoma without plates or platelets. Gnathosoma with a long narrow projection. Cx-I separated medially. Cxgl-4 lying in a bowing of suture line Cx-III/IV (Figure 11A). Genital field 150 long, slender and only slightly bowed, shorter than gonopore, with three pairs of acetabula; pregenital sclerite 58 wide. Length of P1-5: 30, 82, 90, 120, 38.</p> <p>P4 slender, ventrally with two setae and one medial seta, all more or less of similar size, claw of P5 downturned (Figure 11B). Length of I-leg-4-6: 184, 190, 132. I-leg-5 with an arrow-like anteroventral seta (Figure 11C); downturned distal seta of I-leg-5 probably present, but not in a good position in the slide. Length of IV-leg-4-6: 219, 288, 332. Legs without swimming setae.</p> <p>Male – Unknown.</p> <p>Etymology — Named for the slender palp.</p> <p>Discussion — The two known species of the nominate subspecies have more bowed genital plates and the acetabula are less slender compared to the new species. Moreover, both these species have P4 medially (or ventrally) with a stout, blunt seta, which is larger than the two ventral setae.</p></div> 	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/03F487E078370824AEF37A315F55631E	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.
