Vitronura paraacuta Wang, Wang & Jiang, 2016
Vitronura paraacuta
Wang, Wang & Jiang, 2016: 183-196, figs 1-7 (China)
Material.
Two females, submature, on slides, five specimens in alcohol, Maolan National Nature Reserve, Libo County, Guizhou Province, China,
25°16.400'N
,
107°53.864'E
, ca. 880 m above sea level. 19 July 2015. Collected by Cheng-Wang Huang, Yan Liang, and Ai-Min Liu.
Diagnosis.
The characters of the specimens from Maolan are consistent with those of
Vitronura paraacuta
Wang, Wang & Jiang, 2016: body tubercles well differentiated, head with 14 tubercles (only cephalic tubercle L fused to So), 2+2 depigmented eyes, mandible with four teeth, maxilla styliform, tubercles Fr and Oc with three chaetae each, and claw with an inner tooth.
Remarks.
The arrangement of the dorsal body tubercles and numbers of chaetae on dorsal tubercles of
V. paraacuta
are very similar to those of
V. dentata
Deharveng & Weiner, 1984 from Korea. However,
V. paraacuta
can be differentiated from
V. dentata
by almost smooth body macrochaetae, four teeth on mandible, chaetae Di2, De2 on cephalic tubercle De and chaeta Oca on cephalic tubercle Oc being mesochaetae (vs serrated body macrochaetae, three teeth on mandible, chaetae Di2, De2 on cephalic tubercle De and chaeta Oca on cephalic tubercle Oc being microchaetae in
V. dentata
). The distribution of
V. paraacuta
is given in Fig. 16.
