Diagnosis
Diameter 1.78–2.02 mm, 50–52 podous rings ( Fig. 9 View Fig ). Differs from congeners, except A. longipala and A. major , by having the gonopodal palette considerably longer than broad, and by having a distal prefemoral lobe on the first pair of male legs, in addition to the normal prefemoral process. Differs from A. mollilobus sp. nov. by having distinct lateral and mesal incisions on the gonopod coxa and by having the tarsal setae of the first pair of male legs of normal length; differs from A. major in lacking a triangular tooth on the anterior margin of the gonopod telomere.
Material studied (total: 3 ♂♂, 3 ♀♀, 3 juvs)
TANZANIA • 2 ♂♂, 3 ♀♀, 3 juvs; Morogoro Region, Udzungwa Mts National Park, Mito Mitatu, Plot 15; 07°49′39.8″ S, 36°50′26.0″ E; 1552 m a.s.l.; 27 Oct. 2014; J. Malumbres-Olarte leg.; pitfall trapping (summed catch from two traps); NHMD 621642 GoogleMaps • 1 ♂; Morogoro Region, Udzungwa Mts National Park, Mito Mitatu ; 07°50′14.3″ S, 36°50′46.8″ E; 1207 m a.s.l.; 25 Nov. 2013; T. Pape and N. Scharff leg.; pitfall trapping; NHMD 621643 GoogleMaps .
Descriptive notes
The new specimens perfectly fit the original description of A. longipala , except that they are marginally larger (51–52 podous rings, diameter 1.84–2.02 mm, vs 50–52 podous rings, diameter 1.78–1.90 mm for type specimens) ( Fig. 9 View Fig ).
First pair of male legs ( Fig. 5 View Fig D–F) each with a single slender, finger-shaped prefemoral process (pfp); in addition, each prefemur has a smaller, irregular lobe (dpl) on the oral side of the distal margin; setae of femur much shorter than corresponding setae on normal walking legs ( Fig. 8B View Fig ).
Fig. 11 View Fig shows a gonopod of one of the newly collected specimens.
Aquattuor longipala is very similar to A. major (see Discussion).
Distribution
Known from two sites in the Udzungwa Mts, viz., West Kilombero FR and Mito Mitatu in Udzungwa Mts National Park ( Fig. 1 View Fig ). Altitudinal range: 1207–1552 m a.s.l.
