pairs on caudal part of dorsal shield longer, stronger than other dorsal setae, spiniform. Two of them placed in a well-sclerotized hump, covered by maculate ornamentation. Dorsal shield with foveolate ornamentation. Setae and ornamentation on postdorsal shield lacking. Two well-sclerotized half ring and two well-sclerotized humps on anterior part of dorsal shield. All marginal setae wide and T-shaped (Fig. 12), marginal shield without ornamentation. Caudal part of dorsal side with long, smooth and spiniform setae (Fig. 13). Ventral side (Fig. 11): sternal setae short, smooth and setiform. All ventral setae longer, smooth and setiform. Ventroanal setae not clearly visible. Three smooth and setiform postanal setae on small humps and one pair long, smooth and spiniform setae without humps on caudal part of ventral shield. Ventral shield with alveolar ornamentation. Peritrema is shown in the Fig. 14. Genital shield situated between 2 and 4 coxa and large and scutiform, without ornamentation. Gnathosoma (Fig. 15.): corniculi horn-like, laciniae not clearly visible. Hypostomal setae are the following: hi long, smooth and setiform, h2 short, smooth and setiform, h3 very long and setiform, with hairs on its margin, h4 shorter, trifurcate. Base of tritosternum narrow, without spines, laciniae with four branches, their margin with hairs, (Fig. 17). Epistoma long, base distally serrated, apical part with hairs (Fig. 16). Chelicerae not clearly visible. Male. Length of idiosoma 640 pm, width 480 pm. Ventral and dorsal side similar to female, sternal shield with rounded genital shield, all sternal setae setiform, short and smooth, sternal shield alveolar ornamentation, genital shield situated between coxae 4 (Fig. 18). Deuteronymph, protonymph and larva unknown. Figs 15-18. Trigonuropoda shimbaensis sp. n.: 15 = female, gnathosoma, 16 = female, epistoma, 17 = female, tritosternum, 18 = male, ventral view
