Material examined.Five paratypes(of sex not visible) on slides from typelocality (“ Cuevadel Cantal”, Jacamunicipality, Huesca province, Spain, see Gisin, 1967a), deposited at the MHN.
Redescription.Body length 1.6‒1.8 mm(without head nor furca). Relation of antennal joints I‒IV as 1:2.1:2.1:3.3. In none of the five specimens studied was the dorsal head chaetotaxy completely clear, and chaetae A0and A2awere not visible. We can suppose these chaetae were present and the chaetotacic scheme would be A0A2a A2A3M2S3Pa5( Fig. 2). Interocular chaetotaxy with s, t, pchaetae. The body chaetotaxy was also unclear and only macrochaetae of dorsal abd.III ( pm6, p6, m7aand p8p) and dorsal abd.IV chaetotaxy were clearly visible. The abd.IV chaetotaxy match the one described for L. florae sp. nov( Figs 25‒26) with only some little differences such as chaetae C1p, T3and D1psmooth (instead of ciliated). Other characters as described by Gisin (1967).
Discussion. Gisin (1967a)described the dorsal macrochaetotaxy of L pseudosinelloidesas “the same as L. serbicus”, which for dorsal head is A0A2A3M2S3Pa5. Our revision of the typematerial is congruent with this scheme, although we could not be sure about the presence of chaetae A2a.
