Two pairs of eyes, anterolateral to sce.
Venter ( Fig. 32 View FIGURES 31 – 37 ). Coxal setae stout and serrate, setae 1a slender and slightly serrate. Endopodal shields absent. Anogenital area with one pair of aggenital setae (ag), two pairs of genital setae (g1–2) and three pairs of anal setae (ps1–3) ( Fig. 32 View FIGURES 31 – 37 ). Length of ventral setae: 1a 31 (26), 1b 25 (25), 1c 52 (51), 2c 43 (47), 3b 31 (35), 3c 45 (43), 4a 39 (30), 4b 27 (23), 4c 35 (34).

Chaetotaxy of leg segments as follows (specialized setae in parentheses and not included in setal counts): coxae 3- 1-2-2, trochanters 1-1-1-1, femora 4-3-2-2, genua 1(κ)-1(κ)-1-1, tibiae 9(φ)-8(φ)-8(φ)-7(φ), tarsi 10(ω)-9(ω)-8-8 ( Figs. 34–37 View FIGURES 31 – 37 ). Leg setae as indicated in Figs 34–49 View FIGURES 31 – 37 View FIGURES 38 – 45 View FIGURES 46 – 49 . Genual setae III–IV longer than I–II ( Figs. 42–45 View FIGURES 38 – 45 ). Genual setae length as follows: I–IV 197 (206)–228 (236)–257 (274)–302 (294).
MALE. Unknown.
Remarks. Neophyllobius dogani n. sp. is closely related to N. edwardi n. sp. in the length of the genual setae and leg setal formulae but differs from the latter in: (1) dorsal setae longer than N. edwardi , (2) coxal surface smooth instead of reticulate, (3) genual setae longer than that of N. edwardi . The new species also closely resembles N. asalii Khanjani & Ueckermann, 2006 due to having the same leg chaetotaxy and c1 long, passing bases of e1. However it differs from the latter in: (1) tarsi I–II with tarsi 10(ω)-9(ω) in N. dogani versus 9(ω)-8(ω), (2) dorsal setae longer than N. asalii , (3) coxal surface smooth instead of reticulate, (3) genual seta longer than that of N. asalii . The new species also resembles N. afyonenis Akyol & Koç, 2006 in that setae f1, f2, h1, h2 are of equal length. However the new species differs from the latter in: setae vi 57 –60, ve 49–51, sci 52–55, sce 50–52, pdx 59– 62, c1 130–133, c2 80–81, d1 130–133, d2 53–54, e1 114–117, and e2 56 –57 in N. dogani opposed to 69, 64, 59, 64, 69, 149, 107, 165, 59, 133, 64, respectively, in N. afyonenis ; and tarsus II 9 (ω) instead of 10(ω) in N. afyonenis .
Etymology. This species is named in honor of Prof. Salih Dogan, Arts & Sciences Faculty, Department of Biology, Erzincan University, Turkey, for his collaboration with the senior author.
