Deuteraphorura sp. 2
The specimens from the Muránska planina Plateau karst region are similar to D. kratochvili in dorsal pseudocellar formula, but differ in larger body size (2.4–2.7 mm), distinctly elongated claws (length/width ratio 3.3), lower number of vesicles in PAO (up to 14), 10 thickened chaetae (similar in shape as in D.kratochvili ) in MVO on Abd. II sternum and differentiated dorsal macrochaetae in form of long hair-like chaetae. The specimens probably represent a new troglobiotic species.
