Caudal lobesnormalinsize, coneshapedandornamentedwithlongitudinalridges ventrallyandlaterally. Type species. Mucotergum nigrum Ripka sp. n. Etymology. Thegenericname, Mucotergum, isacontractionoftheLatin‘ mucus ’, meaningsecretion, mucusanddischarge, andLatin‘ tergum ’, back, shield, bodyandsur- face, whichrelatestotheexceptionallayeronthedorsalidiosoma. Thegenderisneuter. Differentialdiagnosis. Thenewgenus Mucotergum issimilarto Asetacus Keifer. Itclearlydiffersfrom Asetacus mainlybyhavingallusualsetae, includingbasiventralfemoralseta bv onbothlegpairs, themucus- likecoveronthe prodorsalshieldanddorsalopisthosoma, theuncommonlydarkcolour, and lackoftuberclesofscapularsetae sc.
