Acotyledon manuri sp. n. (Figs 9-15, 22-25) Measurements -— Length: 248-262 um and breadth: 222-235 um. Dorsal side (Fig. 9): Rostrum hardly projecting from anterior margin of prodorsum, but its margins deeply and arcuately excised. Inner pair of prodorsal setae short, originating behind rostral apex, outer pair longer, standing somewhat anteriorly of the inner one. Notogastral setae short and simple especially the marginal ones. Body surface smooth. Ventral side (Fig. 10): Infracapitulum of gnathosoma (Fig. 23) approximately pyriform, solenidia long, palpi well separated, infracapitular setae thin and short, the posterior ones originating on basal half. On anterior sternal plate neither sternal apodeme nor apodemes 2 short, not reaching arc of sejugal apodemes. On posterior sternal plate, apodemes 4 also short, not touching each other medially, each ends with well developed medial setae. Intermediate and posterior sternal apodemes missing. Surface of all epimeres punctate. Epimeres 1, 3 with a small suction disk each. Aggenital suction disks considerably larger than these. Aggenital setae comparatively long, standing up of aggenital disks. Adhering plate (Fig. 11) small, far removed from the posterior body margin, all disks D and Ds present, excepting Ds

2 Legs (Figs 12-15): Claws present on all legs, legs I and II with spoon-shaped adhering setae each, setiform on legs III and IV Solenidium <p, of tarsus of leg I long, longer than entire tarsus, solenidium a>

3 very short, tarsus of leg 2 with short, thick co

x and long, thin <p, (Figs 24-25). Material examined — Holotype: Manure of animals, Assiut, Egypt. Leg. S. A. Eraky. 20.5.1998. Five paratypes from the same locality. Holotype and 4 paratypes deposited in Plant Protection Department, Faculty of Agriculture, Assiut University, Egypt. One paratype deposited in the Arachnoidea collection of the Hungarian Natural History Museum, Budapest, Hungary. Remarks — The new species stands very near to Acotyledon tshernyshevi Zakhvatkin, 1941 (Figs 30-33), described from decaying vegetation, Odessa region, Ukraine, and may be distinguished from it by the following characters: tshernyshevi Zakhvatkin, 1941 manuri sp. n. 1.
