Figures 22, 25

Angelodesmus defensor Hoffman, 1976: 174, figs 7−10. Male holotype from Fazenda Aceiro, Jataí (17°52’54”S, 51°42’51”W), Goiás, Brazil, XI.1962, R. Hoffman coll., deposited in MZSP 1067, examined. Paratypes: one male, with same data of the holotype, MZSP 1068; one male and one female with the same data of the holotype, deposited in VMNH 110613.1 and VMNH 110613.2, respectively, not examined .

Diagnosis. Adult males differ from all other species of the genus by the combination of the following characters: presence of a wide lateral expansion in the solenomere (Fig. 22D) and the prefemoral process completely involving the solenomere, in ectal view (Fig. 22F).

Description. Male (Holotype, MZSP 1067). Coloration (long-preserved in 70% ethanol): Head and antennae ochre (both antennae of the holotype are broken). Body ocher with the edges of the paranota whitish (Figs 22A– C). Legs ocher yellowish. Telson ocher. Total length: 34.63. Total width: 5.26. Collum, length 1.39, width 4.62. Antennomere lengths (1>7): 0.46; 1.28; 1.09; 1.17; 1.18; 1.10; 0.34. Podomeres lengths (1>7): 0.55; 0.70; 1.74; 0.68; 0.79; 1.27; 0.39. Gonopod aperture, length 1.03, width 1.68. Telson, length 0.93. Gonopod: length 1.99, width 0.94. Gonocoxae: length 0.58, width 0.29. Telopodite: length 1.99, width 0.65. Prefemoral process long (slightly larger than the solenomere) and narrow (Fig. 22E). Solenomere long with a lateral membranous expansion (Fig. 22D). Cingulum in basal position (Fig. 22F). Apex of the solenomere acuminate and ascending (Figs 22D).

Female (Paratype, VMNH 110613.2). See Hoffman (1976): 176 to taxonomic notes .
