DIAGNOSIS. — Color white, without pigmentation and eyes. Ssensilla on Ant. IV: S1-S3 slightly stout and rather short, ms slightly longer (developed as S-sensilla); S8, S4, S7 relatively longer. S4 and S7 much thicker than other S-sensilla. S-sensilla of Ant. III: S2 and S5 subequal to ms on Ant. IV. S2 two times longer than S3-4 (so S3, S4 are relatively large). A2 absent on all tergites, p2 absent on Abd. IV. Dens with 5 + 5 chaetae.
ETYMOLOGY. — The species is named in honor of Judith Najt, for her great contribution to systematics of
Neanuridae
, including tropical groups of species.
DESCRIPTION
General
Holotype
570 µm
,
paratype
(
♀
juv.)
620 µm
. Color white, without pigmentation. Integumentary secondary granulation developed. Eyes absent.
Antennae
Ant. IV and Ant. III almost fused dorsally (
Fig. 4B
). Ant. IV with apical papilla reduced and fused with the apex; subapical organite in ventro-apical position (
Fig. 4C
). Seven well developed, thickened S-sensilla on Ant. IV. S1-S3 slightly stout and rather short, ms slightly longer (developed as Ssensilla); S8, S4, S7 relatively longer. S4 and S7 much thicker than other S-sensilla. Sensory organ of Ant. III with ventral guard S-sensilla (S2), 2 rod-like internal S-microchaeta (S3-4), ventral S-microchaeta (S1) and dorsal guard S-sensilla (S5, shifted apically towards S8 of Ant. IV). Sensilla S2 and S5 subequal to ms on Ant. IV. S2 two times longer than S3-4 (so S3, S4 are relatively large). Ant. I and Ant. II with 7 and 11 chaetae respectively.
Mouthparts
Mouthparts typical for the genus (
Fig. 5C
). Mandible long and thin with 2 strong basal teeth, 7 very small or some larger and 2 apical bigger. Labium typical for the genus (
Fig. 5A
).
Chaetotaxy
Head without chaetae a0 and c3 (
Fig. 4A
). Body chaetom composed of small normal chaetae and long sensory S-chaetae, ratio
c.
1:(3-4). Number of S-chaetae on tergites corresponding to standard hypogastrurian pattern (2 + ms, 2/1,1,1,1,1 on each half-tergite from Th. II to Abd. V). Th. I with 2 chaetae on each side. Th. II-III with 3 + S dorso-external chaetae. Th. II-Abd. III with 3 dorso-internal chaetae. A2 absent on all tergites, p2 absent on Abd. IV. On Abd. I 2 + 2 or 1 + 1 chaetae between sensory S-chaetae (chaetae a1 present in some specimens on one side). Tibiotarsus without M-chaetae (7 + 11, 7+ 11, 6 +11 chaetae) (
Fig. 5D
). Subcoxa with 1, 2, 2 chaetae.

Abdominal appendages
VT with 3+ 3 chaetae. Furcula well developed, tenaculum with 3+3 teeth, dens with 5+5 chaetae (
Fig. 5B
). Dens about two times longer than mucro.
REMARKS
Cephalachorutes judithae
n. sp.
has no eye. Other blind species have six (vs five in
C. judithae
n. sp.
) chaetae on dens (
C. caecus
Bedos & Deharveng, 1991
and
C. centurionis
Bedos & Deharveng, 1991
) or tenaculum and furca completely absent (
C. anneae
Queiroz & Mendonça, 2016
). The mentioned species also have smaller S3 and S4-sensilla on antennal organ III: 4,5 (vs two in
C. judithae
n. sp.
) times shorter than S2. Five chaetae on dens and large S3, S4-sensilla are shared with
C. deharvengi
Najt & Weiner, 1997
, which clearly differs with 5+ 5 eyes and shorter Ssensilla on Ant. IV.
