Sternoppia americaensis sp. nov. is similar to S. brasiliensis Franklin &amp; Woas, 1992 in having setiform bothridial seta bearing bifurcate cilia and medium-sized notogastral setae la, lm, lp. However, the new species can be distinguished from the latter by the larger body size (length: 465–525 versus 290), notogastral setae la, lm, lp longer (versus similar in length) than other notogastral setae, and the presence (versus represented by alveolus) of notogastral seta c and sparse tubercles on epimeres I, II.</p> <p>Etymology. The species name refers to the place of origin, South America.</p></div> 	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/03FD6E72FFE127292080F970FB8C6BA4	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.
