Abstract
A new species of the genus Aporcella, collected in replanted coffee orchards in Central Highland of Vietnam, is described and illustrated. Aporcella daklakensis sp. n. is characterized by its 1.63–1.98 mm long body, lip region offset by weak constriction and 14–15 μm broad, odontostyle 13–15 μm long or equal to lip region diameter, neck 400–565 μm long, pharyngeal expansion 205–335 μm long and occupying 51–60% of the total neck length, female genital system diovarian with very poorly developed genital tract and transverse vulva (V = 53–59), tail conical with rounded terminus (31–39 µm, c = 43–57, c′ = 1.0–1.4), visibly subdigitate and bearing cuticular irregularities at its ventral side, and male absent. The new species is compared with its closest Aporcella representatives.
