Lohmannella bihamata Viets, 1950 Diagnosis. One cornea present. Glp-1 same level as Ds-1. Ds-2 and Ds-3 on membranous cuticle. Two dorsal setae on PE. Female with 20 Pgs and 4 Sgs. Male with ca.85 Pgs and 6(?) Sgs. Tr I–IV with 1-1-1-1 setae; Bf I–IV with 3-3-3-2 setae; Tf I–IV with 7-7-5-4 setae; Gn I–IV with 7-(6,7)-4-3 setae, (2, 3)-2-0-0 Bp setae; Tb I–IV with (12,13)-(11,12)-7-8 setae, 6-3-1-4 Bp setae; Ta I–IV with 3-3-4-3 dorsal setae, 2-2-2-2 Bp setae. Lc I with multidentate heavy accessory process. Idiosoma length 403 in female, 500 in male. Idiosoma width 320 (Idiosoma length 403). Gnathosoma length 231 in female, 286 in male. Ratio of gnathosoma to idiosoma 0.59 in male. Ratio of P-2 to P-1 3.29. Remarks. This species is characterized by Lc I–IV with accessory process. Although P-3 lacks ventral spine according to the original figure, it will be probably due to overlooking. Female and male are known. Non-type specimen is deposited in the Vites Collection (No.7220) of ZIZMH. Habitat. Littoral zone: Gravels, crevices, kelp holdfasts, and algae (Palmeria georgica, Rhodophyta). Distribution.
