description: Abrolophus stanislavae (Haitlinger, 1986)
Material examined. New locality: Poland, Ochotnica Dolna, 800 m a.s.l., 5 July 1999, 1 larva, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Jajce, 25 June 2011, 1 larva; leg. R. Haitlinger. For measurements are also used other specimens collected in Austria, France, and Poland (Haitlinger 1986, 2007a, 2007d). First record from Bosnia and Herzegovina.
Diagnosis. Odontus and accessory claw bifurcate, fD 52–60, fV 18, ASE 24–30, PSE 40–46, Ta I 50–56, Ti III 65–85, IP 926–1103.
Description. Larva. Dorsum. Dorsal surface with 56 (52–60) barbed setae. Each side of scutum with one eye, circular, not on platelets; eyes 14 µm across (Figure 9). Scutum slightly longer than wide with two pairs of scutalae, both with barbs; AL <PL. Anterior sensillary setae (ASE) shorter than posterior sensillary setae (PSE), both setulose at distal half (Figure 10).
Ventrum. Ventral surface of idiosoma having six setulose sternalae 1a, 2a, 3a, four setulose setae between coxae I–II, 14 setulose setae between coxae II and III and 18 setulose setae behind coxae III. Sternalae 1a longer than sternalae 2a and 3a. Coxalae I–III setulose; 1b> 2b> 3b (Figure 11). NDV = 74.
Gnathosoma. A pair of barbed adoral setae (cs), two pairs of hypostomal setae nude as1 and barbed as2, as2> as1 and a pair of barbed subcapitular setae (bs). Palpfemur with dorsal and ventral seta, both barbed, ventral seta 35 µm long. Genu with three barbed setae, palptibia with two nude setae and divergent accessory claw. Odontus distinctly divergent (Figure 12). Palptarsus with 7 nude setae (including eupathidium and solenidion) (Figure 13).
Leg setal formula. Leg I: Ta 1ω, 1ε (1Cp other specimens), 2ζ, 21 (18–19); Ti 2φ, 1Κ, 13 (14); Ge 1σ, 1Κ, 10 (11); Tf 7 (7–9); Bf 4; Tr 2; Cx 1 (Figure 14). Leg II: Ta 1ω, 1Cp, 2ζ, 20 (17–19); Ti 2φ, 13 (12–13), Ge 1σ, 1Κ, 9; Tf 5; Bf 4; Tr 2; Cx 1 (Figure 15). Leg III: Ta 1ζ, 15 (14–15); Ti 1φ, 12 (11–13); Ge 1σ, 9; Tf 5; Bf 4; Tr 2; Cx 1 (Figure 16).
Measurements are given in Table 2.
Distribution. Austria, Bosnia and Herzegovina, France, Poland, Slovakia (Mąkol and Wohltmann, 2012).
Remarks. Abrolophus stanislavae belongs to the Abrolophus species having palptarsus without comb-like seta or setae with long setules and odontus and accessory claw bifurcate. Only A. podorasensis has these characters. It differs from A. podorasensis in the longer ASE (24–30 vs. 15–24), PSE (40–46 vs. 21–37), longer longest dorsal setae (45–55 vs. 33–42), 1b (35–42 vs. 23–35), 2b (22–28 vs. 16–23), cs (18–22 vs. 11–18), as2 (15–21 vs. 10–16), OD (15–17 vs. 10–15), Ta III (46–54 vs. 32–45), fD (52–60 vs. 36–50), IP (926–1103 vs. 769–899).
