Coxisternal region: Strongly chitinized. Epimeral setae arising mostly from tubercles (Fig. 2). Epimeral setal formula: 3-2-3-3. Anogenital region: Genital setae arising on tubercles, resembling papillae (Fig. 5).Anogenital setal formula: 9-0-5-4. Anal and adanal plates also with polygonate ornamentation. Palpus: Tarsus without long, taeniform setae. Legs: All legs tridactylous, lateral claws very thin, their end not dilate. Material examined: Holotype (1172-HO-86): No. 74, deposited in the HNHM. Remarks: The new species is the third known species of Hauserophlophora Mahunka, 1977. It is distinguished from the other two species by the long flagelliform setae and the large tubercles on the body surface. Figs 11-12. Hoplophorella verrucosa sp. n.
