(Fig. 4) – Body wormlike, 322 (198–322, n
= 10), 62 (49–62) thick. Gnatho-
soma 25 (22–27), projecting obliquely downwards; chelicerae 22 (21–25), seta d 4 (4–5).
Prodorsal shield 27 (25–27), 27 (27–35) wide, oval, without anteromedian lobe over gnatho-
somal base; shield pattern composed of two thin incomplete admedian lines from one-third
of the shield gradually diverging to the rear but recurving centrad at rear margin of shield,
ending in a small pit in the middle of rear margin; two very short and faint submedian lines;
laterally fine granules in rows between shield edge and coxae. Tubercles sc on rear shield
margin, 15 (10–15) apart, setae sc 22 (15–22), directed to the foreward, converging.
Foreleg 42 (39–42), tibia 4 (4–5), tarsus 5 (5–7),
~ 7 (7–9), with knob, empodium
simple, 4–rayed. Hindleg 40 (36–42), tibia 4 (4), tarsus 5 (5–6),
~ 7 (7–9), with knob, em-
podium simple, 4-rayed.
Coxae with dense granules; setae 1b 1 (1–2), tubercles 1b 11 (10–11) apart, setae 1a
16 (12–25), tubercles 1a 10 (10–11) apart, setae 2a 40 (29–42), tubercles 2a 23 (22–24)
apart. Prosternal apodeme not well defined.
Opisthosoma with 67–86 subequal annuli. Microtubercles elongate rounded and
smooth, located in the middle of annuli. Dorsally the microtubercles more elongate than
ventrally. Setae c

TYMOLOGY
– The specific designation is derived from the name of country and em-
pire of Huns, an ancient nation who lived in the Carpathian Basin.

THER MATERIAL

R
EMARKS
– The new species is similar in morphology to Eriophyes vauqueliniae
Keifer, from which it differs in the presence of a small pit in the middle of rear shield mar-
gin, direction of setae sc (diverging), and the length of accessory setae (Keifer, 1964).

IAGNOSIS

and four submedian lines. Empodium 8-rayed, coxae smooth; smooth semiannuli between
coxae and genital region.
