Poratophilus (Philoporatia) sabulosus : Schubart 1966: 159 . Zinophora sabulosa : Hamer 1998: 56 ; Redman et al . 2003: 259. Diagnosis: Lateral lamella of telocoxite with prominent lobe medially ( Fig. 71 , mp ), and digitiform process laterally ( Fig. 71 , lp ). Median lamella with median spinous process ( Fig. 72 , sp ). One long femoral spine on telopodite, this being curved inwards, passing just below telocoxal spine and lobe and reaching opposite gonopod telocoxite ( Figs 71, 72 , fp ). Thumb reduced, branching off base of pectinophore and curved away from other apical elements ( Fig. 71 , t ). Description: Size : Width 11 mm , length about 110 mm ; 46 segments. Colour : Antennae dark brown, legs red-brown. Prozonites light brown, metazonites darker, posterior margin orange-brown. Anal segment dorsally light brown, paraprocts darker brown. Head : Eye parallel to antenna, antenna almost reaching posterior margin of collum, antennomere 2>3>4>5>6>7=1>8 ( Fig. 73 ). Collum : Subquadratic, with thick raised margin anteriorly ( Fig. 73 ). Tergites and sternites : Prozonites with irregular longitudinal striation, metazonites with striation reaching above the ozopores. Ozopores set below mid-body from lateral view, starting from 6th segment. Sternites smooth. Terminal segment with distinct spiniform process ( Fig. 74 ). Legs : Pads on legs up until the terminal diplosegments. Gonopods : As in diagnosis.
