( Figures 17–19 )

Anaphes quinquearticulatus Huber & Triapitsyn, 2017: 44 . Holotype female, Republic of the Congo, Pool , Abio (UCRC), examined.

Anaphes quinquearticulatus: Manickavasagam et al., 2018: 154 (Tamil Nadu record); Manickavasagam & Athithya, 2018: 1655 (checklist).

Anaphes (Anaphes) quinquearticulatus: Huber & Thuróczy, 2018: 17 (list, subgeneric placement).

Diagnosis. Funicle 5-segmented and clava 1-segmented ( Fig. 17 ). flagellum with fl 2 as long as fl 3 and each with 1 mps ( Fig. 17 ); head with short seta next to supraorbital trabecula; mesosoma with fairly long suberect setae. Fore wing narrow and curved, with one longitudinal median row of about 10 microtrichiae ( Fig. 18 ).

This is the only species of Anaphes known to have a reduced number of funicle segments (due to loss of fl 1). It is assigned to A. ( Anaphes ) because the clava is unsegmented, as in all other species of the subgenus. In Huber & Triapitsyn (2017), an explanation of the abbreviations of internal structures illustrated in fig. 12 was accidentally omitted. They are: f 2 a—mesofurcal apodeme, f 3 a—metafurcal apodeme, ph 2— second phragma (mesophragma), pph—pseudophragma, t 2 -tr 2— apodeme of the mesotergal-mesotrochantinal muscle.

Host. Unknown

Distribution. Democratic Republic of Congo and India.
