Abstract

A new species of Protosticta Selys, 1885 is described based on specimens collected from Kerala, northeast of Thiruvananthapuram, in the southern parts of the southern Western Ghats of India. Protosticta armageddonia sp. nov. is compared with all other known Protosticta species of the Western Ghats to provide comprehensive differential diagnosis. The new species is distinguished from its congeners by a combination of characters, including a marking on the ventral side of thorax, structure and colour of the prothorax, markings on the 8th abdominal segment, and the structure of caudal appendages and genital ligula. Furthermore, we provide preliminary information on the ecology and natural history of the new species.

根据在印度西高特山脉南部蒂鲁凡南塔普兰东北部喀拉拉邦采集的标本，描述了1885年原生蜱属Selys的一个新种。将armageddonia sp. 11 .与所有已知的西高止山脉原生原虫进行比较，以提供全面的鉴别诊断。新种与同类的区别在于其胸腹侧的标记、前胸的结构和颜色、腹部第8节的标记以及尾肢和生殖唇的结构。此外，我们还提供了新物种的生态学和自然历史的初步资料。
