2. Length of legs: In the present species legs, especially leg I seems to be shorter (418 p, 288 p, 268 p, and 318 p), compared with those of E. horridus (538 p, 338 p, 294 p, and 344 p), for the 4 legs, respectively. 3. Dorsal chaetotaxy: The new taxon has 17 pairs of dorsal setae, while the known E. horridus has only 16 pairs (i5 pair of setae present in the former with 28 p long, but represented in the latter by 2 obvious pores. 4. The relative length between short and long setae: It can be observed that in E. baloghi sp.n. it is 1:10, while it is 1:28 in E. horridus, also the relative size between both of the two types of setae can be distinguished as 2:1 for the short setae and 10:16 for the long ones. i2 pair of dorsal setae reaching base of i3, and i3 reaching beyond base of i4 in E. baloghi , while is not the case in E. horridus. Mutual distances between some dorsal setae: sl-sl, i2-i2 and s2-s2 are 20, 46, and 26 p in the new one and 26, 66, and 102 p in the known species, for the the three measurements, respectively. 7. Density of dorsal stellate tubercles: It seems to be denser in E. baloghi sp.n. than in E, ho rridus. 8. Ventral sides: in E. horridus , sternal and and genital setae appear to be about twice longer than those of the new species. 9. Ventral sclerotization: Genital shield anterio-medially sclerotized in E. horridus while lacking in E. baloghi , in addition, two lateral areas on the same shield are strongly sclerotized in the former, but weakly, in the latter. Epicriopsis hungarica sp.n. Measurements: length: 326 p, width: 232 p, leg I: 418 p, leg II: 268 p, leg III: 276 p, leg IV: 332 p. Dorsal side: (Fig. 3) Dorsal shield entire, ornamented with stellate tubercles and fine punctures, with 17 pairs of setae, sparsely barbed, except i5 which is very short, smooth and spiniform. i2 pair of setae not reaching base of setae i3, as the latter contracted to setae i4, while the former seems to be relatively, short. Other characters of dorsal side resemble those of E. baloghi sp. n. Ventral side (Fig. 4): Tritosternum with strong base 16 p long, laciniae 31 p long, base, anterio-laterally and laciniae, densely barbed. Sternal shield grooved anterio-medially, measuring 72 p in length and 76 p in width, bearing st. 1 and st. 2 sternal pairs of setae. Anal shield transversally, oval shaped (62x90 p). Other characters are the same as for E. baloghi sp. n. Material examined: Holotype (360-HM78), Bátorliget 1976. III. 2. leg. Dr. S. Mahunka (H-1513) 8 ex. paratype data as for holotype. 4 ex. paratype: Bátorliget 1976. IV. 21. leg. Dr. S. Mahunka and L. Mahunka (H-1524). The holotype and 8 paratype specimens deposited in the Hungarian Natural History Museum. 5 paratypes deposited in the Faculty of Agricultural Sciences at Moshtohor, Egypt. Remarks: E. hungarica is very similar to E. baloghi but it can be easily distinguished by the following taxonomic characters: 1. i5 pair of dorsal setae being the only smooth and spiriform dorsal setae, very short (6 p long), compared with that of E. baloghi, which measure about 28 p in length. 2. i3 pair of dorsal setae (28 p long), shorter than that of E. baloghi (40 p long) but owing to the contraction to i4 it seems to surpass its base, while i2 not reaching base of i3. 5. 6.
