Hartzell leg. Description. Body size up to 1.6 mm. Body shape slender, typical Desoria (Fig. 115 F). Head shape normal. Abd. 5–6 almost completely fused, with a weak incision between the tergites and a distinct break in setal cover. Colour completely black, including extremities. Head without white spots between eye-fields. Freshly collected specimens with a greenish lustre. Unlike most species even small juveniles as dark as the adults. Ocelli 8 + 8, rather small. PAO oval, about 1.5 as long as diameter of nearest ocellus. Three setae associated with PAO (Fig. 48). Ant. 1 with 5–8 short curved ventroapical sensilla and a few curved setaceous sensilla (Fig. 45). Ant. 2 with a single ventrolateral curved sensillum in apical position. Ant. 3 organ, with a few additional sensilla (Fig. 46). Ant. 4 with bifurcate pin seta and a small apically expanded peg in the subapical organ. Labrum with 4 / 554 normal setae, apical edge with 4 sharp ridges and a composite ventral ciliation. Frontoclypeal field with 10–15 setae, two setae between antennal base and upper corner of labrum. Maxillary palp bifurcate, 4 sublobal setae. Labial palp complete, guard e 7 present; terminal seta on the papillae as long as guards. Hypostomal papilla with subequal H and h 1 /h 2.
