The new species is dedicated to Antoine Senglet, collector of the Iranian material studied and prominent Swiss Arachnologist. Diagnosis. Habitus typical of the genus Deutonura . Dorsal tubercles present and well developed. 2+2 large pigmented eyes. Buccal cone relatively long and narrow, labrum without ogival sclerifications. Head without chaetae O, So2 and L3. Tubercles Cl and Af separate. No granular area between chaetae A and B on head. Tubercles De on Th. II and III with 3 and 4 chaetae, respectively. Tubercles Di on Abd. V not bilobed. Cryptopygy not developed. Male ventral organ present. Description. General. Body length (without antennae): 0.85 (juvenile) to 1.55 mm (holotype: 1.45 mm). Colour of the body bluish-grey. 2+2 large black eyes, in a typical arrangement for the genus (Fig. 53 ). Figures 53-61. Deutonura sengleti sp. nov. 53 chaetotaxy of head, Th. and Abd.

Dorsal ordinary chaetae of five types: long macrochaetae (Ml), short macrochaetae (Mc), very short macrochaetae (Mcc), mesochaetae and microchaetae. Long macrochaetae thickened, slightly arc-like or straight, narrowly sheathed, serrated, cylindrical, apically rounded (Figs 53 , 56 , 60 ). Macrochaetae Mc and Mcc morphologically similar to long macrochaetae, but much shorter (Figs 53 , 60 ). Mesochaetae similar to ventral chaetae, thin, smooth and pointed. Microchaetae similar to mesochaetae, but clearly shorter (Figs 53 , 60 ). S-chaetae of terga thin, smooth and short, notably shorter than nearby macrochaetae (Figs 53 , 57 , 60 ). Table 13.

Mouthparts. Buccal cone relatively long and narrow, labral sclerifications nonogival (Figs 58 , 59 ). Labrum chaetotaxy: 4/2, 4 (Fig. 59 ). Labium with four basal, three distal and four lateral chaetae, papillae x absent. Maxilla styliform mandible thin and tridentate. Dorsal chaetotaxy and tubercles. Head without granular area between chaetae A and B. Elementary tubercles DE and EE on head absent (Fig. 53 ). Head without chaetae O, L3 and So2, chaeta D free. Chaetae C as Mccormi (Fig. 53 ). Chaetae Ocm and Ocp of nearly equal length. Chaetae De2 on head as mior rarely Mcc (Fig. 53 ). Th. I with tubercles Di and De fused (Fig. 53 ). Chaetae Di3 on Th. II-III free. On Th. III, chaetae De2 slightly longer than De3 (Fig. 53 ). On Abd. I-III, chaetae De2 shorter than De3. Cryptopygy absent, Abd. VI well visible from above. Ventral chaetotaxy. On head, groups Vea, Vem and Vep with 3, 4 and 4 chaetae, respectively. Group Vi on head with 6 chaetae. On Abd. IV, furca rudimentary with 6 minute microchaetae without visible chaetopores (Fig. 61 ). Male with thick and forked chaetae (male ventral organ) on furca rudimentary (Abd. IV, Fig. 61 ) and around genital aperture (Abd. V). On Abd. V, chaetae Vl and L' present. Legs. Chaetotaxy of legs as in Table 15 . Claw without internal tooth. On tibiotarsi, chaeta M present and chaetae B4 and B5 of medium size and pointed. Table 15. Chaetotaxy of Deutonura sengleti sp. nov.: Postcephalic chaetotaxy.

Remarks. The new species runs in the most recent key to Deutonura species ( Deharveng et al. 2015 ) to D. caerulescens Deharveng, 1982 from France ( Deharveng 1982 ). However, these species differ in the number of chaetae (L+So) on the head (in sengleti , 8, in caerulescens , 9-10), the presence of microchaetae on furca rudimentary (in sengleti , present, in caerulescens , absent), the number of chaetae L on Abd. III and IV (in sengleti , 3 and 6 chaetae, in caerulescens , 4 and 8 chaetae), the number of chaetae on tubercle (De+Dl+L) of Abd. V (in sengleti , 5+s, in caerulescens , 7+s) and ratio of chaetae Di1:Di2:Di3 on Abd. V (in sengleti , 1:4:16, in caerulescens , 1:2:4 or 1:3:7).
