Polyporogaster schnitnikowi Lignau, 1929 View in CoL

Figs 1 View Figure 1 , 21 View Figures 2–21 .

Diagnosis. Body length 60 mm, 81 leg-bearing segments, median arc shallow ( Fig. 21 View Figures 2–21 ), with 27 denticles. Coxopleural pores (5 on each side) opening in fossae on dorsal side, covered by lateral margin of tergite.

Remarks. This species is known from the original description only (Karatal River, vicinity of Balkhash Lake, Almaty Region) which is very succinct and provided with schematic figures of head (ventral view) and labrum. According to the original description this species is very close to the P. porosa ; differs by shape of labral median arc only.
