Differential diagnosis
. The new species is related to
Neopronematus sepasgosariani
Sadeghi, Łaniecka and Kaźmierski, 2012
. These two species have the relatively long and serrate dorsal body setae, bifurcate setae
ag3
and similar ornamentation. The features differentiating both species are provided in
Table 6
and refer to females.
The new species also resembles
Neopronematus neglectus
(Kuznetzov, 1972)
in general appearance. However,
N. neglectus
has significantly shorter setae (Kuznetzov 1972b).

Description
. Organotaxy of gnathosoma, idiosoma and appendages typical for genus (see Panou
et al
. 2000). Body oval, whitish, light greenish. FEMALE (
holotype
). Idiosoma: length 210, width 135, proportion index 1.5 (205–215/
130–135 in
30
paratypes
). Aspidosoma with 4 pairs of dorsal setae. Rostrals
(ro)
situated behind lamellars
la
(prodorsum procurved). 9 pairs of dorsal opisthosomal setae (jointly with
ps3
replaced on ventral side). Dorsum of body completely striated. Striae lie longitudinally on prodorsum, and on the central part of opisthosoma, between setae
(c1)
and
(d1),
whereas transversely between setae
(e1).
On the end of opisthosoma, between setae
(f2), (h1)
and
(ps1)
the striae form an inverted “V”-pattern. Eyes absent. All dorsal setae, including bothridial setae, slender, spindle-like and finely serrated, relatively long. Length of setae:

ag1
(10),
ag2

are bifurcate (6). No genital and eugenital setae. Pseudanal valves folded, with 1 pair of setae

MALE (
paratype
). Idiosoma: length 160, width 96 (proportion index 1.7). Other males (3): 155– 160/95–100. Most of characters same with exception of following: solenidion
ωI
extremely long (nearly 25), relatively thick (nearly
2 in
its broadest part) and strongly bent. Femora IV distally with strong, bent and pointed spur. Single pair of rounded, dorsal opisthosomal discs present between setae
d1

, slightly laterally to
d1–e1
. These discs covered by chess-shaped pattern looking like sieves. Diameter of discs about 12.
Remark
. The male dorsal opisthosomal discs have been never observed before.
