Oziella sibirica sp. nov. Chetverikov Description of external morphology (Figs. 1–6; Table 2). PROTOGYNE FEMALE (n=8). Idiosoma vermiform, whitish, 352 (321–374) long, 59 (53–65) wide. Prodorsal shield (Figs. 1, 2, 3 C & 4B) subtriangular, with anterior margin weakly rounded and slightly indented medially; ornamentation consisting of median, two admedian and five submedian lines (Fig. 1 B). Median line straight, visible in posterior two-thirds of shield, usually entire or can be divided into 2–3 fragments. Two admedian lines straight in anterior third of shield, slightly sinuous in posterior two-thirds, together forming a bottle-like figure, usually with a gap in anterior one-third of prodorsal shield. Submedian-1 lines short, visible in anterior one-third of prodsorsal shield. Additional short line can be present between admedian and submedian-1. Submedian-2 can be straight and short (Fig. 2 A & 2B) or as long as shield and then straight in anterior half but slightly sinuous in posterior half (Fig. 2 C & 2D). Submedian-3 lines running from anterior shield margin, medially to ve tubercles, ending well in front of sc tubercles; those lines consisting of 2–3 fragments or may be entire, with a small curve posteriorly (Fig. 2 B & 2C). In some individuals, submedian-3 appear to be bifurcate, with median branch merging with posterior portion of submedian-2 (Fig. 2 B & 2C); a small sub-circular (almost eye-like), apparently smooth area visible (only under CLSM) in some specimens inbetween submedian-2 and -3 and anterad to sc tubercles (Fig. 2 A, 2B & 2D). Two short lines, submedian-4 and -5, behind each ve tubercle, flanked laterally by an eye-like structure, appearing more-or-less flat (under phase contrast) or as an oval protuberance (under CLSM), about 6 long and 4 wide. Surface of prodorsal shield anterior to ve with small granulations. Prodorsal shield 32 (32–36) long, 36 (36–46) wide; ve 10 (8–10) long, directed forward and slightly laterally; tubercles 21 (20–26) apart; sc 1 (0.5–1.5) ...
