Lohmannella multispina Newell, 1984 Diagnosis. Corneae absent. Glp-1 anterior to Ds-1. Ds-2 on AD. Ds-3 on PD. Two dorsal setae on PE. Female with 10 Pgs and 8 Sgs. Male with 35 Pgs and 8 Sgs. P-2 with 3 or 4 ventral spines. Tb I with 5 or 6 Bp setae. Idiosoma length 255 in female. Idiosoma width 172 in female. Gnathosoma length 182 in female. Gnathosoma width 68 in female. Ratio of gnathosoma to idiosoma 0.71 in female. Ratio of P-2 to P-1 3.33. Remarks. The species is distinguished from the other species by having Ds-2 on AD, Ds-3 on PD, Ds-4 on OC, and quite small Lc. This is one of the small species in the genus. Like this species, arenicolous species may tend to lack corneae (Newell 1984). Female, male, and DN are known. Habitat. Littoral zone: Coarse shell fragments on rocky reef. Distribution. South Pacific Ocean: Arica [Chile]. Reference. Newell (1984). Depository.
