Khaustov, S.G. Ermilov, E.A. Hugo-Coetzee, and A.A. Khaustov).</p> <p>Type deposition. The holotype (female) is deposited in the collection of the National Museum Bloemfontein, South Africa (NMB); 11 paratypes (eight males and three females) and three tritonymphs are deposited in the collection of the Tyumen State University Museum of Zoology, Tyumen, Russia (TSUMZ). All specimens are preserved in 70% solution of ethanol with a drop of glycerol.</p> <p>Etymology. The species name is dedicated to our friend and colleague, the well-known zoologist Dr. Jochen Martens (Johannes Gutenberg Universität, Mainz, Germany).</p> <p>Differential diagnosis. Adults of M. martensi spec. nov. morphologically most similar to those of the type species (M. guillaumeti) in many traits (e.g., notogaster foveolate; anogenital region with diagonal ribs and furrows; prodorsum with enantiophysis; propodolateral apophysis present; bothridial seta long, with elongate flattened head), but differs from the latter by the presence of diagonal ribs with narrow furrows in-between in the aggenital region (versus aggenital ribs and furrows absent), bacilliform leg tracheae (versus tracheae setiform), rounded ventral keel on leg femur I (versus keel triangular) and four pairs of notogastral setae, h 1 absent (versus five pairs including h 1). Tritonymphs of M. martensi spec. nov. differs from that of M. guillaumeti by the presence of five pairs of gastronotic setae, c 1 absent (versus six pairs including c 1).</p> </div>	http://treatment.plazi.org/id/6C1187D4FFE8FFA9FF06FF42FA76FF0E	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.
