ii5 
4. Womersleyia minuta Radford, 1945 
A, dorsum, and B, venter, of larva; C, scutum (X390); D, chelicer; E, palp; 
F, palpal tarsus further enlarged; G, dorsal seta. 
Genus Cockingsia nov. 
With the characters of the Leeuwenhoekiidae, subfamily Apoloniinae, with leg I 
7-segmented and legs II and III 6-segmented. Scutum roughly triangular with apex anterior 
as a pronounced process carrying the two AM setae. Tarsal claws single, no empodium. 
Coxae I with 2 setae. Palpi, except the femur, cylindrical; tibia with paired or bifurcate 
strong and slightly curved claws, tarsus normal and small. Scutal setae stiff, rod-like and 
minutely serrate. Stigmata and tracheae present. 
Type Cockingsia tenuipes n. sp. 
Remarks. — This genus which in the form of the scutum is closely related to Audyana n. g., 
Womersleyia Radford and Neotrombidium Leonardi (= Monunguis Wharton) is dedicated to 
Mr. K. L. Cockings, a former member of the Colonial Office Unit in Malaya. 
The genus is perhaps nearest to Neotrombidium (. Monunguis ) in having single tarsal claws 
and nude filamentous sensillae, but differs in the legs II and III being only 6-segmented, and 
in the less curved palpal claws, as well as in the absence of any sign of an incipient crista. 
In the leg segmentation it agrees w T ith Audyana n. gen., but differs in the form of the 
scutal setae, and in having single tarsal claws, as well as in the form of the setae on the 
maxillae and on coxae II and III. Also the palpal tarsus is normal and without the terminal 
spines of Audyana , and the palpal claws are not short and stumpy. 
From Womersleyia it differs in the single tarsal claws, and the more specialised palpal 
tarsus, as well as the leg segmentation.
