Abstract

Sugaentulus andrzeji sp. nov. is described from Siberia. The new species is characterized by the peculiar shape of maxillary gland and striate band and leaf-like sensilla on maxillary palps. The related S. masumii differs from the new species by the broader calyx with distinct extra appendix and slender sensilla on maxillary palps. Postembryonic development of chaetotaxy and porotaxy also is described.
