Abstract

Ceratophysella richardi sp. n. is described from South Carolina, USA. Unusual characteristics of a new species (post antennal organ with posterior lobes not surrounding accessory boss, macrochaetae p₂ on thoracic terga II-III set nearly in line with setae p₁, setae m₂ on thoracic tergum II sometimes present, setae p₁ and p₂ on abdominal tergum IV microchaetae and macrochaetae, respectively, and all body sensilla long) are intermediate between two genera and led the authors to synonymize Mitchellania Wray, 1953 with Ceratophysella Börner, 1932.
