Propodosomal shield with three pairs of setae ( vi , ve and sci ). Eyes absent. Setae sce , c 2, d 2, e 2 inserted in striated integument. Central shield carrying two pairs of setae ( c 1 and d 1). Setae e 1 located on median zonal shields. Intercalary shield divided, with setae f 1. Suranal shield entire, with three pairs of setae ( h 1-3). Dorsal body setae faintly serrated.

Venter . Coxisternal shields separated, with three pairs of setae ( 1a , 3a , and 4a ). Aggenital setae four pairs, ag 1 and ag 2 located on different small shields, anterolateral to genital cover, and ag 3 and ag 4 located on the same shields, lateral to genital cover. Genital covers bearing three pairs of setae. Anal covers with three pairs of pseudanal setae. Dimensions of setae as follows: ag 1: 10; ag 2: 10; ag 3: 13; ag 4: 13; g 1: 8; g 2: 10; g 3: 10; ps 1: 13; ps 2: 18; ps 3: 15. All genital setae slightly serrated. FIGURE 16.

Legs . Leg I 168, leg II 135, leg III 127, leg IV 155. Chaetotaxy of leg segments as follows: coxae 2–2–2–2, trochanters 1–1–2–1, femora 6–4–3–2, genua 6(κ)–6(κ)–2–2, tibiae 7(ϕ,ϕρ)–6(ϕρ)–6(ϕρ)–6(ϕρ), tarsi 14(ω)–10(ω)– 8(ω)–8(ω). Genua I and II with solenidion κ. Gnathosoma . Chelicera 58 long. Palp 70 long. Counts of setae from palpfemora to palptarsus: 3–2–3+1 claw– 4+1ω+4 eupathidia. Subcapitulum with two pairs of adoral setae ( ro 1,2) distally and two pairs of subcapitular setae ( m and n ) proximally. Dimension of setae m : 13, n : 15, distances between m-m : 20; n-n : 25; m-n : 13. Male and other immature stages. Unknown. Etymology. The name of this species comprises Latin words, integrius , meaning undivided, because of the entire suranal shield. Type material. Holotype Ƥ from grassy soil, 40°26'02'' N , 37°06'55'' E , 491 m , Reşadiye, 11 V 2008 ; ZMAU . Remarks. The new species resembles Prostigmaeus khanjanii Bagheri & Ghorbani ; however, it can be distinguished from the latter by: ag 2 and ag 3 located on different shields in the former whereas located on the same shield in the latter, c 2 inserted in striated integument in the former whereas placed on humeral shields in P. khanjanii , and dorsal shields with oval dimples on in the new species vs. dorsal shields reticulated in P. khanjanii .
