Diagnosis 
With one coxal pore on each side, forcipules two 
thirds the length of the head capsule. 
Description 
Number of trunk segments: 41 and 43. Length: 13 
mm. 
Colour: colourless to yellowish white, head and 
forcipular segment slightly darker. Head capsule: 
slightly longer than wide, sides convex, a notch at 
the front between the antennae. Length about 4 
third of that of the antennae (Figures 2, 10). 
Antennae: first segment very much wider than 
long; second to seventh, longer than wide; the rest 
wider than long or about equal except the last 
which is equal in length to the previous two 
(Figure 2). Forcipules: two-thirds the length of the 
head capsule. Seen from above the forcipules bulge 
outward at their base, beyond the margin of the 
head capsule (Figures 10, 11). Clypeus: with two 
post-antennary setae and a band of ten 
intermediate clypeal setae (Figure 3). Labrum: well 
marked sidepieces with at least three sharp teeth, 
is not well defined (Figure 4). Maxillae: first 
maxillae with two palpi per side; apical claw of the 
second maxillary telopodite with about seven 
spines on dorsomedial edge (Figure 9). Pore- 
groups: from first to 16th segment, gland openings 
Figures 1 8 Australoschendyla capensis sp. nov., 2 WAM 92/1318 (Figures 1-4, 7, 8); 6 WAM 92/1322 (Figures 5, 
6). 1, last trunk segment, from above; 2, head and antenna, from above; 3, clypeus; 4, labrum, central 
area obscured; 5, metatarsus of last <3 leg; 6, last trunk segment, from below; 7, apical claw of eighth 
n g t leg, 8, fourth segment with pore-group. Scale lines equal 0.1 mm except for Figures 4, 5 and 7 
where they equal 0.05 mm.
