03FA87C19368FFC38641F94D5455F9D6.taxon	description	Description Animals (measurements in Tables 3 – 4; Supp. files 1, 2) Body is bright yellow; all specimens became transparent after the fixation in Hoyers’s medium (Fig. 2). Eyes were visible in 64 % of animals (excluding hatchlings) mounted in Hoyers’s medium. Body and leg cuticle is without granulation in all life stages and with pores present only in hatchlings (Fig. 3). Hatchlings are similar in appearance to adults, except for a smaller body size and roundish pores (Fig. 3) (1.14 – 2.10 µm in diameter) with sometimes jagged edges, faintly visible under PCM, scattered randomly throughout the body cuticle, with a mean pore density of 10 (range 9 – 11) per 2500 µm 2 of the dorsal cuticle. Claws are slender, primary branches with distinct accessory points (Fig. 4) and an internal system of septa as described for Richtersius coronifer s. lat. by Lisi et al. (2020). The claw common tract index has an average value between 56 % and 58 % across all four leg pairs, meaning that the basal portion of the claw is usually longer than half the total length of the primary branch. Lunulae are large, with a crown of long, numerous and densely arranged spikes (Fig. 4). All the lunulae are trapezoidal (Fig. 4). Double muscle attachments in legs I – III and horseshoe structures in legs IV are visible in PCM, whereas cuticular bars are absent (Fig. 4). Mouth is antero-ventral. The buccal apparatus is of the Richtersius type (Fig. 5). The oral cavity is followed by a system of large apophyses that form a buccal crown (Fig. 5 A – B). Anteriorly, the system consists of dorso-lateral and ventro-lateral triangular apophyses (Fig. 5 A). The dorsal and ventral apophyses are composed of anteriorly positioned large cuticular hooks, followed by longitudinal crests (Fig. 5 B). The hook in the ventral apophyses is smaller than the dorsal hook (Fig. 5 B). The wall of the buccal tube exhibits a variable thickness (Fig. 5 A), but the internal diameter of the buccal tube is almost uniformly narrow (Fig. 5 A). From the mouth opening to the stylet support insertion point, the thickness of the buccal tube wall increases only slightly, while below this point the evident posterior thickness is clearly visible (Fig. 5 A). The pharynx is spherical, with bilobed apophyses, three anterior cuticular spikes (typically only two are visible in any given plane) and two granular macroplacoids (2 <1). The first and second macroplacoids have a faint constriction positioned centrally and subterminally, respectively (Fig. 5 C). The oral cavity armature is faintly visible under PCM, with only the second band of teeth visible mainly in the larger specimens (Fig. 5 B). Under PCM, the second band of teeth is visible as several irregular rows of densely packed and faint dark dots (Fig. 5 B). The discontinuous third band of teeth is situated between the second band of teeth and the opening of the buccal tube and is divided into a dorsal and a ventral portion, both in the form of a single large tooth resembling a beak. Eggs (measurements in Table 5; Supp. file 1) Large, roundish, yellow, laid freely. The surface between processes is smooth but with refracting dots faintly visible only under PCM, but difficult to observe because of the amount of debris that is typically attached to the egg surface (Figs 6 – 7). Processes in the shape of elongated, thin cones with a ragged surface caused by small granules visible both in LM and SEM (Figs 6, 7 B – E). Terminal discs or other structures absent. Reproduction The species is gonochoric-amphimictic (Guidetti et al. 2016).

Eyes were visible in all of the animals (excluding hatchlings) mounted in Hoyer’s medium. Body and leg cuticle is without granulation in all life stages and with pores present only in hatchlings (Figs 8 B, 9). Hatchlings are similar in appearance to adults, except for a smaller body size and roundish pores (1.5 – 3.1 µm in diameter) with usually jagged edges, visible under PCM, scattered randomly throughout the body cuticle, with a mean pore density of 5 (range 4 – 7) per 2500 µm 2 of the dorsal cuticle (Fig. 9).

Terminal discs or other structures absent. Reproduction Thelytokous parthenogenesis, chromosome number 2 n = 12 (Rebecchi et al. 2003; Stec et al. 2020 b).
