Abstract

A new species of Ilyocryptus Sars from Çildir Lake in Kars is described and figured. In external morphology, Ilyocryptus anatolicus n. sp. resembles partly I. sordidus (Liévin) and I. spinosus Štifter, but it shows several morphological differences in shape and armature of the postabdomen and in the defensive spines on the posterior margin of the carapace.
