Description
Summary:Cosmochthonius zanini Penttinen et Gordeeva sp. n. from the southern Coast of Crimea (Ukraine), Rhodes (Greece) and Turkey is described. It belongs to the reticulates foliatus group of species with thick cerotegument, but differs from other species by widened notogastral setae c and d, and comparatively long setae cp. Specimens from Turkey and Greece differ from the Crimean ones by longer secondary seta on setae f1 and f2. The description has been illustrated by SEM micrographs. The type material is deposited in the Zoological Museum of the University of Turku.
