branches, the others densely ciliated. The outer exobothridial setae expanded medially (Fig. 7). Sensillus elongated, fusiform, covered with long cilia. Notogaster (Fig. 5): All notogastral setae conspicuously long, among them setae h and p thicker than the others. Ventral regions: Surface of the genital plates striated longitudinally. Eight pairs of simple genital setae present. Anal plates long, a nearly cordiform structure observable in their distal part. Eight pairs of long, simple anal setae present they are arranged in one longitudinal row. They are nearly equal in length their direction typical, as shown on Fig. 8. Legs: The shape and setae of legs are quite similar to that of Prototritia glomereta (Grandjean, 1932). On the tarsus of leg I. e, co

2 originates nearer to each other than in glomerata (Fig. 6). On leg IV claws are considerably longer than on legs I—III. 5 Figs 5-8. Prototritia palaciosi sp. n.; 5 = body from lateral view; 6 = tibia and tarsus of leg I; 7 = rostral part of prodorsum in anterodorsal view; 8 = anogenital region
