over the insertions of the lamellar setae. In the interlamellar region a pair of longitudinal laths is visible, their distal part Y-shaped, basal part bent inwards. Rostral setae arising on the lateral margin, at the cuspis of tutoria, bent inwards, well ciliate. Lamellar setae slight­ly thinner, their cilia also long, interlamellar setae shorter, ciliate. Bothridia with well­developed posterior lobe. Sensillus (Fig. 5) fusiform, marginally ciliate. Notogaster: Elongate, dorsosejugal margin well convex, protruding anteriorly, between the bothridia (Fig. 1). Whole surface covered by fragmental cerotegument layer, consisting of irregular granules. Fourteen pairs of mostly curved notogastral setae pre­sent. All setae bilaterally ciliate. Lyrifissures hardly observable, originating laterally. Lateral part of podosoma (Fig. 3): Exobothridial and acetabular region finely granu­lated. Setae ex arising on tubercles. Pedotecta I normal, setae 1c arising on their basal margin. Ventral parts (Fig. 2): Whole surface of mentum striate, mostly with transversal lines (Fig. 4). Epimeral borders and apodemes - excepting the anterior part of the sternal ones - well developed, four pairs of transversal apodemes and borders present, apodemes IV with double laths. Apodemes III narrower than the sejugal or apodeme IV. Some char­acteristic short longitudinal ridges present on the 2nd and sejugal borders. Pedotecta II narrow, nearly spiniform in ventral view. Discidium with two lobes. Epimeral setal for­mula: 3 - 1 - 3 - 3. All epimeral setae distinctly ciliate, like the notogastral and as all setae in the anogenital region. Anogenital setal formula: 6-1-2-3. Genital and anal opening framed by thin lines, lyrifissures iad originating near the anal opening. Legs: Form and chaetotaxy of legs I and IV typical for the family. All legs mono­dactylous. Solenidium (p, of leg I arising on small tubercle (Fig. 8). Setae u of legs III and IV (Fig. 7) spiniform. Trochanter IV with sharp dorsal projection (Fig. 9). Legs setal formulae: I: 1 -5-3+1-4+2-18+2-1 IV: 1 - 2-2-3+1 - 12- 1 (Fig. 6). Material examined — Holotype: GL-4: Glarus: Klöntal, érable (Acer) creux; 1100 m; 20. V. 1993; leg. C. Besuchet. 1 paratype from the same sample. Holotype in the Muséum d'Histoire naturelle, Geneva, 1 paratype (1646-PO-99) deposited in the Hungarian Natural History Museum, Budapest, with identification number of the speci­mens in the Collection of Arachnida. Remarks — The new species is well distinguishable from the type species of the genus [Kaszabobates kaszabi (Balogh et Mahunka, 1965)] by the dilated sensillus (slightly dilated, bacilliform in K. kaszabi), the sculpture of the mentum (smooth in K. kaszabi) and by the form of the trochanter (longer and bearing a narrower and longer dorsal spine in the new species). Derivatio nominis — Named after its origin. Kaszabobates kaszabi (Balogh et Mahunka, 1965) Gobiella kaszabi Balogh et Mahunka, 1965: 459, figs 12-13. Kaszabobates kaszabi: Balogh 1972: 162, figs 31: 10-11. Having closely examined the specimens of the type species we established that the original description is principally correct, only the shape of the sensillus needs some modification (bacilliform), for distally it is somewhat broadened (Fig. 10). There is no reference in the original description regarding the cerotegument layer, furthermore, the lateral spines (strong cilia) of the lamellar setae are on the figure shorter than in reality.
