Material studied. 30 L3 reared ex adults collected at: Cyprus, Paphos, 1 km SE of Agio Georgios Pegeias, 24.iii.2013, J. Dohnal lgt.

Body length 16–21 mm. Cranium: width 2.25–2.5 mm, height 1.37–1.57 mm. Cranium yellowish to yellowishbrown, smooth; semi-circular in shape, dorsally flattened (length of dorsal straight portion of cranial margin slightly less than one half of maximum width of cranium). Chaetotaxy as in Table 1. Epipharynx: Zygum with 13– 17 stout conical setae and 8–13 similarly shaped setae at its proximal base. Chaetoparia with 54–70 and 43–53 setae on right and left side, respectively. Acanthoparia with 4–7 ovate setae, 1 or 2 distal setae elongated. Stridulatory area of mandibles with 20–25 transverse ridges. Apical scissorial tooth of left mandible falcate, about three times larger than subapical tooth. Transverse proximal row of setae and sensilla on ligula composed of 9–11 combined stout lanceolate setae and campaniform sensilla. Respiratory plate of spiracles with 7–13 holes across diameter. Thoracic legs with stout (spine-like) or long hair-like setae, the hair-like setae are always well developed, never slender. Raster monostichous composed of single horseshoe-shaped row of 18–26 pali, septula broadly ovate, opened posteriorly, almost as wide as long. Tegillar setae variable in size, some subequal to the size of pali, most about three times size of pali or longer. Tegilla fused, sparsely covered with setae, average distance between two setae about two times of length of palus. Campus absent. Dorsal parts of last abdominal segment with prominent ring of dense long setae surrounding circular field of conspicuously short scale-like setae.
