03EB8798FFEBA70E9ACAF163F0428D9D.taxon	materials_examined	Material examined. Holotype and one paratype: L- 5. Comparison. The new species is unique among the Apoplophora species by the heterotrichy of setae: sensilla, rostral setae, four posterior pairs of notogastral setae and four pairs of ventral setae are dilated proximally, attenuate; the interlamellar, lamellar, exobothridial, four anterior notogastral and one anterior pair of ventral setae are narrower. Moreover, triangular genital plates are divided by furrow and anoadanal plates with only two pairs of different in shape and length setae.	en	Niedbała, Wojciech, Ermilov, Sergey G.
