Cuticle well sclerotised, brown in colour; body flat, subcircular, cuticle smooth or punctate, may be sculptured centrally with small pits. Marginal shield broad with ca 6 pairs of lyrifissures ( id ), separated from dorsal shield or fused with it anteriorly. Marginal setae numerous, short, hook­like. Submarginal setae simple, shorter than dorsal setae. Dorsal setae simple or lanceolate, each accompanied by a circular porus. Five pairs of simple sternal setae ( st1–st5 ), and three pairs of lyrifissures: iv1 near camerostome, iv2 near setae st5 and iv3 below pedofossal grooves IV. Epigynium of female large, tongue­shaped, articulated below the level of coxae IV, ornamented, with one pair of lyrifissures located near the posterior edge of the shield ( ig ), covering endogynial shield ( sg ) and endogynial sac ( seg ). Operculum ( opr ) of male oval, surrounded posteriorly by semicylindrical postgenital element ( pg ), with one pair of eugenital setae ( plg ), situated at a level between coxae III and IV. Five pairs of simple ventral setae ( v1–v5 ). Two pairs of simple adanal setae ( Ad1 , Ad2 ) and unpaired postanal seta ( Pa ). Each pair of ventral setae accompanied by circular porus. Idiosomal chaetotaxy for immatures and adults as in Table 1 . Peritremes short, Vshaped, without poststigmatic section, located near the margins of the body. Two pairs of lyrifissures ( il ) and several pairs of globular glands ( gv , gl ) located in and between pedofossal grooves and on opisthosoma. Tritosternum 6­branched, with broad base. Hypostomal setae h1 longer than the others, h2 short, h3 = h4 , h4 longer than h2 . Tarsus I without claws, but with long terminal seta; leg chaetotaxy as in Table 2 . TABLE 1. Idiosomal chaetotaxy in larva (L), protonymph (Pn), deutonymph (Dn) and adult (A) of the genus Cilliba (after Athias­Binche, 1977): st—sternal series; v, Ad—ventral and adanal series (excluding unpaired seta Pa ); v—total number of ventral setae; j, J—dorsal series; z, Zmediolateral series; s, S—lateral series; r, R—submarginal series.; d—total number of dorsal setae.
