Lamella long and broad, rounded distally; translamella present (observed in dorsal aspect); tutorium long (slightly shorter than lamella), ridge-like. Dorsocentral region distinctly hump-like; mediobasal part with large depression. Rostral seta (37–41) phylliform, dilated in median part, barbed, inserted on distinct tubercle (tubercle located on translamella); lamellar seta (37–41) phylliform, dilated in median part, covered by strong spines, inserted in ventrodistal part of lamella; interlamellar seta (75–82) phylliform, dilated mediobasally or in median part, barbed; bothridial seta (52–56) setiform, heavily barbed, curved mediodistally; exobothridial seta not observed. Bothridium interrupted ventrally.</p><p>Notogaster (Figs 4 (a, d, e)) — Anterior margin slightly convex medially; lateral and posterior parts slightly depressed. Humeral shoulder small, well visible. Fourteen pairs of notogastral setae (c 3 absent; c 2, dp: 82–90; p 1, p 2, p 3, h 3: 37–41; others: 67–71) phylliform, dilated mediobasally or in median part, barbed; c 2 directed forward; c 1 located medial to c 2. Opisthonotal gland opening and all lyrifissures visible.</p><p>Gnathosoma (Figs 5 (a–c)) — Subcapitulum size: 94–97 × 75–79; subcapitular seta h (9–11) setiform, slightly barbed; a (11–15) and m (11–15) narrowly phylliform, slightly dilated in median part, slightly barbed. Palp length: 60–64; setation: 0-2-1-3-9(+ω); postpalpal seta (7) spiniform, roughened. Chelicera length: 109–112; seta cha (30–34) setiform, barbed; seta chb (15–17) setiform, roughened.</p><p>Epimeral and lateral podosomal regions (Figs 4 (c, d)) — Epimeral setation: 3-1-3-3; setae</p><p>1a, 1c, 2a, 3a (4) spiniform, smooth; other setae 1 (b: 30; others: 19–22) setiform, slightly barbed. Discidium tubercle-like.</p><p>Anogenital region (Figs 4 (c–e)) — Anogenital formula: 4-1-2-3; all genital setae (11–15) setiform, nearly smooth; aggenital and adanal setae (19–22) setiform, slightly barbed; seta ad 3</p><p>in preanal position, posterior to aggenital seta; both anal setae (4) spiniform, smooth. Adanal lyrifissure distanced from anal plate.</p><p>Legs (Figs 5 (d–g)) — Claw of each leg strong, barbed dorsally, with small ventrobasal tooth. Dorsoparaxial porose area on femora I–IV elongate oval. Formulas of leg setation and solenidia: I (1-4-3-4-16) [1-2-2], II (1-4-3-3-15) [1-1-2], III (2-3-1-2-15) [1-1-0], IV (1-2-2-2-</p><p>11) [0-1-0]; homology of setae and solenidia indicated in Table 2 ; seta s of tarsus I eupathidial; seta l″ of genua I, II and l′ of genua III, IV phylliform, dilated in median part; solenidion 1 φof tibia I long, subflagellate; ω 2 long, rod-like; other solenidia medium-sized or short, thickened, rounded distally.</p><p>Remarks — Congocepheus setiformis Ermilov n. sp. is most similar to C. rwandensis Fernández, Theron and Leiva, 2016 from the Afrotropical region in having setiform bothridial seta and the presence of one pair of long notogastral setae of c -row directed forward. However, the new species differs from the latter by the seta c 2 (versus c 1) directed forward and a significantly smaller number of ridges and depressions on the notogaster.</p><p>Etymology — The species name setiformis refers to the morphology of the bothridial seta (setiform).</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/03D087C3FFF00121E6F95F8EFDC530F5	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.
