Description. Size: 0.55–0.80 mm females (holotype 0.75 mm). Colour: pale with diffuse pigment more concentrated in eye fields. Body long and slender ( Figs 3–4 View FIGURES 3 – 4 ). Dorsal chaetae smooth and pointed. SA macrochaeta on Abd IV 0.20–0.25, on Abd V 0.50–0.55 times the tergite length ( Fig 7 View FIGURES 5 – 8 ).
Antennae shorter than cephalic diagonal (10:12). Ant IV with some 8–10 dorsal cylindrical sensilla, a dorsoexternal microsensillum and a subapical pit organ. Sensory organ of Ant III with a pair of small microsensilla and two guard sensilla shorter than surrounding chaetae, one on each side. Another microsensillum found in a ventrolateral location. Ant III with 22 common chaetae. Ant II with a small subcylindrical ventral sensillum and 16–17 common chaetae, and some of the basal ones short and fine. Ant I with two subcylindrical ventral sensilla and 12 common chaetae; one of the basal chaetae smaller than the others.
Five omma on each side of head. PAO long and narrow, 3.5 times as long as an omma, with two posterior chaetae ( Fig 10 View FIGURES 9 – 14 ). 2/5,5,4 labral chaetae. Maxillary palp bifurcate with three sublobal chaetae.
Dorsal chaetotaxy represented in Figure 3 View FIGURES 3 – 4 . Axial chaetotaxy of Th II–Abd V have 6,4/3,3,3,5,2 pairs of mesochaetae respectively. Macrochaetotaxy: 1,1/2,2,3,3,3; similar to type 2 of Fjellberg (1993), but M on Abd I and SA on Abd III slightly longer than surrounding chaetae ( Table 3). Microsensillar chaetotaxy: 1,0/0,0,1 ms freely exposed on the body surface. Th II–Abd V with 3,3/2,2,2,2,4 sensilla shorter than surrounding chaetae. The lower pair of sensilla on Abd V is longer and thicker than the upper pair, set in front of p-row ( Fig 7 View FIGURES 5 – 8 ).

Chaetae A1–A7, B1–B7, C1–C7 and x present on tibiotarsus of leg III. Tibiotarsi of legs I and II with single chaeta B4/5. Claw with no teeth on inner edge. Empodial appendage sharp; its length less than half internal edge of claw.
Ventral chaetotaxy represented in Figure 4 View FIGURES 3 – 4 . Head with 3+3 postlabial chaetae. Ventral tube with 3+3 laterodistal chaetae and 2 posterobasal ones. The retinacle with 3+3 teeth and one chaeta on corpus. Subcoxa of furca with 6–9 chaetae on anterior and 4–5 on posterior part. Furca well developed. Manubrium with 9+9 posterior and no anterior chaetae. Dens with three posterior and one anterior chaeta ( Fig 12 View FIGURES 9 – 14 ). The mucro with two teeth, with a small lateral lamella from base to subapical tooth.
Discussion. As the previous new species, Folsomides subvinosus sp. nov. belongs to the species group of Folsomides angularis ( Axelson, 1905) and also have lost several ms (10/001). Main differences between F. subvinosus sp. nov. and these species are summarized in Table 4 View TABLE 4 . The new species is most similar to F. vinosus , but easily separated by the dorsal macrochaetotaxy; The new species has 22333 macrochaetae on Abd I–V, but F. vinosus has 11133 abdominal macrochaetae ( Fig 3 View FIGURES 3 – 4 vs 5); these species also differ in the shape of dorsal sensilla on Abd V, lower sensilla longer than upper ones in F. subvinosus sp. nov. and lower sensilla equal in length to upper ones in F. vinosus .
Etymology. Its name reflects the similarity to F. vi no s u s.
