Saissetia neglecta De Lotto, 1969 Fig. 2 Description. The specimens agree with the descriptions presented by Granara de Willink (1999) and Hamon and Williams (1984). The morphometric data correspond to the analysed population (n = 4). Body 2.4–4.2 mm long and 1938–4409 µm wide (Fig. 2 A). Antenna with 8 segments, 320–377 µm long (Fig. 2 B, an). Hind legs, each 357–436 µm long, with segmentation between tibia and tarsus, but without a sclerotised joint (Fig. 2 C). Dorsal seta conical, each 9–15 µm long (Fig. 2 D). Anal plates subquadrate, 166–184 µm long, with a discal fimbriate seta (Fig. 2 E, F). Pre-opercular pores present along the central area of abdomen, from anterior margin of anal plates to the abdominal segment IV or III, each 7–8 µm wide (Fig. 2 G). Marginal setae fimbriated (Fig. 2 H, I), numbering 24–27 between anterior spiracular clefts, 9–12 between anterior and posterior spiracular clefts and 17–18 between posterior spiracular and anal cleft. Spiracular furrow with 21–39 pores, arranged in a single, complete row from peritreme to margin (Fig. 2 B, sf); spiracular cleft with three setae (Fig. 2 J): two short, 11–18 µm long and one long, 58–64 µm long, at least four times the length of the other setae. Ventral ducts are distributed on lateral and submarginal areas along the venter, each 10–21 µm long (Fig. 2 K). Perivulvar pores present in central area of abdomen from the anogenital fold to second abdominal segment, each 7–8 µm wide (Fig. 2 L). Material examined.
