Diagnosis.
Shell small with six thin plates; basis membranous; scutum and tergum remain articulated, scutum higher than wide; mandible tridentate; caudal appendage absent; one individual with two penises.
Description.
Shell brownish (Fig. 11a, b View Figure 11 ), depressed (Fig. 11c View Figure 11 ); orifice diamond shaped (Fig. 11a, b View Figure 11 ); overlap of ‘rostrolateral’ forming T junction (Fig. 11b View Figure 11 ); scutum and tergum triangular, tergal margins straight (Fig. 11d, e View Figure 11 ); cirrus I with anterior ramus longer than posterior (Fig. 11f View Figure 11 ); mandible with smooth tridentate teeth (11o). Ranges of basal length 3.6-9.9 mm, basal width 3.0-9.1 mm, height 1.2-2.2 mm. Orifice of diamond shape with orifice length 1.5-4.5 mm, orifice width 0.7-3.6 mm (measurements for two specimens are presented in Suppl. material 1: Table S10).
Distribution.
In this study, Microeuraphia sp. was found on Seram Island (at Pantai Waimeteng, Piru) (a map with the occurrence of Microeuraphia sp. in the Moluccas is shown in Suppl. material 1: Fig. S5).
