Abstract

A new species,Ceratophysella stachi, from Denmark, Germany, Luxembourg, Norway, Poland, and Ukraine is described based on morphological data and DNA barcodes. It belongs to a small European group of species with type B chaetotaxy and strong tegumentary granulation with distinct fields of coarse granules:C. granulataStach, 1949,C. lawrencei(Gisin, 1963),C. neomeridionalis(Nosek & Červek, 1970),C. scotica(Carpenter & Evans, 1899), andC. silvaticaRusek, 1964. It differs from all of them in the chaetotaxy of lateral parts of thoracic terga II–III (setae m6present and one additional seta outside lateral sensillum m7present or absent) that is exceptional within the wholeC. armata-group. Notes on closely related speciesC. granulataare also given.
