03C187FAFFB5A460FF537AAFFF41F83F.taxon	description	Redescription. Body color in life. Overall body color light-brown, with hyaline lamina (Fig. 1). Body ornamentation. Dorsal surface covered with dense, tiny, granular sculpturing (gs) usually organized in polygonal pattern (Figs 2, 3 A – C, 3 E). Granular sculpturing is of different lengths and shapes, but mostly rounded (Fig. 3 E). Modified nodule-like setae (nls) scattered among granular sculpturing (Figs 2, 3 A – B, 3 E); setae higher than granular sculpturing and composed of two layers of dentate crowns with a central, pointed projection (Fig. 3 E); nodule-like setae distributed on all dorsal body surfaces, except on lobules (lb) (Figs 3 A – B, 3 D). Lobules dorsally covered with many minute, pointed projections (Fig. 3 D), ventrally bare. Ventral surface of laminae bearing many scattered pointed setae (Figs 4 A, 4 C). Marginal setae (ms) are slightly clubbed, with dorsal surface bearing many pointed projections, similar to those covering lobules (Figs 3 D, 3 F). Lobules bearing a small seta, similar to marginal setae in shape, but with about half of their length, located close to base of marginal seta (Fig. 3 D). Ventral surface of the body covered with scattered, pointed setae and with minute granulations on intersegmental region, between legs and in a narrow strip around legs. Imbricated between granulation are small, rounded glands (Fig. 4 B). Abdominal spiracle rounded (Fig. 4 B). Head. Antenna four-segmented, geniculate (Figs 2 A, 4 A); first article thin, evenly widened apically, long, length approximately equal to that of three remaining articles combined; second article rounded; third article cylindrical with proximal portion narrowed; second and third article short, with about one fourth of first article length; fourth article elongated, subequal in length to the second article, tapering apically (Fig. 4 A). Articles covered with scattered, pointed setae (Fig. 4 A). Labium three-segmented. Coiled stylets visible in diaphanized specimens. Legs. Short, robust, with stout femora, greatest widths of femora 3.5 – 4.0 times width of tibiae; tibiae laterally compressed, narrowed basally; tarsi dimerous, first tarsomere about one-half size of second; claw large and without teeth; pulvilli slender and capitated, spatula-like, lengths nearly as long as that of claw. Foretibia with longitudinal row of erect setae. Apices of mid and hind tibiae with stout setae. Number of laminae: 11 in males, 12 in females and 14 in last instar nymph. Laminae (lm) with lobules arranged as follows in adults: 8 ♂, 7 ♀ (head I), 3 ♂, 4 ♀ (head II), 10 ♂, 11 ♀ (prothorax), 12 (mesothorax plus metathorax), 7 (abdominal I), 8 (abdominal II), 8 (abdominal III), 8 (abdominal IV), 7 (abdominal V), 8 ♂, 7 ♀ (abdominal VI), 4 (abdominal VII), 3 ♀ (abdominal VIII, absent in male) (Fig. 2 A). Last instar nymphs: 6 (head I), 3 (head II), 7 (prothorax), 4 (mesothorax I), 4 (mesothorax II), 4 (metathorax), 4 (abdominal I), 4 (abdominal II), 4 (abdominal III), 4 (abdominal IV), 4 (abdominal V), 4 (abdominal VI), 4 (abdominal VII) and 3 (abdominal VIII) (Fig. 2 B). Measurements. Body length: 2.6 – 2.7 mm; maximum width: 1.7 – 1.8 mm. Male terminalia (Figs 5 A – B). Pygophore (pyg) rounded; paramere (par) elongated and thin, slightly arched, with pointed tip; phallobase (phb) longer than wide; ejaculatory reservoir (ejr) hammer-shaped; aedeagus (aed) tubular, elongated and twisted; capitate processes rounded. Female terminalia (Fig. 5 C). Spermathecal bulb (sb) elliptical, slightly dorsoventrally flattened and sclerotized; pumping region (pr) tubular, proximal and distal flanges not differentiated; spermathecal duct (sd) very long, tubular and twisted, with distal third narrowed; outgrowth of spermathecal duct (osd) well-developed, elongate and sackshaped.
