Megastygarctides View in CoL sp.

21 specimens ( PM: 8 females, 9 males, 4 indeterminable gender)

Remarks: A sufficient number of specimens were recovered for both light microscopy (LM) and SEM studies enabling the new species status of these specimens to be confirmed. This taxon will be described in a separate paper together with another undescribed Megastygarctides species recovered during a concurrent study (in prep.) in the same region.
