Type
deposition.
The
holotype
is deposited in the collection of the Senckenberg Institute, Görlitz, Germany; one
paratype
is deposited in the collection of the Tyumen State University Museum of Zoology, Tyumen, Russia. All in ethanol with drop of glycerol.
Diagnosis.
Body size: 796–813 × 431–448. Rostrum narrowly rounded. Costulae and transcostula absent. Rostral and lamellar setae setiform, barbed, interlamellar setae minute, spiniform;
ro
longer than
le
and
in
. Bothridial setae setiform, barbed. Interbothridial region with several pairs of muscle sigillae. Nine pairs of comparatively short, setiform, barbed notogastral setae and one pair (
c
) of vestigial setae. Setae
la
inserted posterolateral to
lm
. Epimeral and anogenital setae short, setiform, slightly barbed. Adanal lyrifissures inverse apoanal, close to anal aperture.
Description.
Measurements
. Body length: 796 (
holotype
, female), 813 (one
paratype
, female); notogaster width: 431 (
holotype
), 448 (one
paratype
).
Integument
. Body color brown. Body surface microfoveolate (visible only under high magnification in dissected specimens, × 1000). Rostrum and lateral parts of body between bothridia and acetabula I–III with numerous dense granules (their diameter up to 6).
Prodorsum
(
Figs 4
A
, 4
C
). Rostrum slightly protruding, narrowly rounded. Costulae and transcostula absent. Rostral setae (61–65) setiform, straight, barbed, slightly divergent distally. Lamellar setae (36) setiform, slightly barbed;
le
located closer to
in
than to
ro
. Interlamellar (4–6) and exobothridial (4) setae spiniform. Bothridial setae (139–143) setiform, barbed, specifically slightly curved mediobasally and directed upwards. Interbothridial region with two rows of numerous pairs of muscle sigillae. Interbothridial tubercles absent. Postbothridial tubercles slightly developed. Longitudinal rows, comprising several muscle sigillae, present in front of the bothridia. Lateral semi-oval prodorsal carinae present.

Oppia inclinata
was described by
Hammer (1962
b
)
. At present,
Subías (2019)
included it in the genus
Brachioppia
Hammer, 1961
. However,
O. inclinata
fits the definition/diagnosis of
Kokoppia
(
Ermilov & Hugo-Coetzee 2019
)
, including
localization of adanal setae
ad
1
in
postanal position (versus paraanal in
Brachioppia
), therefore, this species should be combined:
Kokoppia inclinata
(Hammer, 1962)

Gnathosoma
(
Fig. 4C
). Subcapitulum longer than wide (143–151 × 98). Subcapitular setae setiform, barbed,
a
(28–32) shorter than
m
and
h
(41). Adoral setae (20) setiform, thin, smooth. Palps (86) with setation 0-2-1-3-9(+1 solenidion). Postpalpal setae (8) spiniform, smooth. Chelicerae (143–151) with two setiform, barbed setae,
cha
(45) longer than
chb
(28). Trägårdh’s organ of chelicerae elongate triangular.
Epimeral and lateral podosomal regions
(
Figs 4B, 4C
). Sejugal tubercles absent. Epimeral borders IV present, semi-oval. Epimeral setal formula 3-1-3-3, setae setiform, slightly barbed,
3c
(49) longer than

,
2a
and

(24–32) and others (36–41). Lateral ridges between bothridia and acetabula IV on lateral sides of body present. Discidia triangular.
Anogenital region
(
Figs 4
B–4D). Six pairs of genital (
g

, 28–32; others, 20–24), one pair of aggenital (49–53), three pairs of adanal (49–53) and two pairs of anal (49–53) setae setiform, slightly barbed. With three pairs of genital papillae. Adanal lyrifissures distinct, in inverse apoanal position, close to anal aperture.
Legs
(
Figs 5
A–5D). Leg claws smooth. Porose areas on femora I–IV not observed. Formulas of leg setation and solenidia: I (
1-5-2-4-20

Etymology.
The specific name
parrillarensis
refers to the Laguna Parrillar National Park, near of which was collected the new species.
Remarks.
Setoppia parrillarensis
sp. nov.
is morphologically most similar to
Setoppia strinovichi
(
Balogh, 1982
)
from Australia (
Balogh 1982
) in having comparatively short lamellar, interlamellar and notogastral setae, however, the new species differs from the latter by the larger body length (796–813 versus 587), localization of notogastral setae
la
posterolateral to
lm
(versus anterolateral) and adanal lyrifissures close to anal aperture (versus distanced), the absence of costulae (versus costulae present), and the presence of minute interlamellar setae (versus interlamellar setae distinctly longer).
