Hoplopllorella subciliata Mahunka, 1983 .

Atropacarus (Hoplophorella) subciliatus: Niedbała 2001 .

I examined once again the holotype in alcohol.

Diagnosis — Measurements of holotype: prodorsum: length 358, width 267, height 136; notogaster: length 656, width 485, height 454. Rather large-sized species; colour light yellow; surface of body weakly foveolate only on border of notogaster. Prodorsum with dorsal field longer than lateral ones; distinct lateral carinae and posterior furrows present; sensilli short, weakly dilated, pointed distally, slightly rough; other setae short (ss = in> le = ro), spiniform, rough, except vestigial exobothridial ones. Notogaster with small, spiniform, rough setae, setae c far from anterior margin, setae c 1 and c 2 more than setae c 3, setae ps almost in one row; vestigial setae f 1 posteriorly of h 1 setae, 3 pairs of lyrifissures ia, im and ip present. Ventral region; setae h of mentum very short; arrangement of genital setae is 4: 5; setae ad 2 slightly longer than other setae of anoadanal plates, situated near paraxial margin, right plate with additional setae on paraxial margin. Chaetome of legs complete, setae d on femora remote from distal end of its segment.

Locality in Tanzania: The Kilimanjaro Mts: Mahunka 1983b, Niedbała 2001.
