Pseudonannolene bovei inops View in CoL – Mauriès 1987: 177 (lectotype and paralectotypes designations). — Jeekel 2004: 88.

Diagnosis

Males of P. inops resemble those of P. anapophysis , P. bovei , and P. xavieri by having a solenomere with an elongated ectal process directed horizontally ( Figs 75D–F View Fig , 218B), but differing by having a S-shaped internal branch swollen apically ( Fig. 75D View Fig ).

Etymology

Named after the Latin adjective ‘ inops ’ = ‘weak’, ‘helpless’, ‘lacking’. Unspecified in the original description.

Descriptive notes

MEASUREMENTS. 61–62 body rings (1 apodous + telson). Males: body length 55 mm; maximum midbody diameter 2.5 mm. Females: body length 55–60 mm; maximum midbody diameter 3–3.5 mm.

COLOR. Body color brownish grey; head, collum, antennae and legs darker; prozonites greyish anteriorly; metazonites with a brown medial band and a lighter posterior band.

HEAD. Antennae long ( Fig. 163I View Fig ), just reaching back to end of ring 6 when extended dorsally; antennomeres elongated; relative antennomere lengths 1<2<3>4≈5≈6>7. Mandibular cardo with ventral margin swollen. Ommatidial cluster well-developed, covered partially by anterior region of collum, elliptical; ca 25 ommatidia in 4 rows.

BODY RINGS. Collum with lateral lobes broadly rounded, with ca 6 striae, slightly curved ectad ( Fig. 74A View Fig ). Very faintly constricted between prozonite and metazonite; prozonites smooth; metazonites laterally with transverse striae below ozopore. Anterior sterna in midbody rings subrectangular, without transverse striae ( Fig. 169B View Fig ).

FIRST LEG-PAIR OF MALES. Coxae (cx) short (less than half of remaining podomere lengths), subtriangular, with the base arched and slightly expanded, densely setose ( Fig. 75A View Fig ); prefemoral process (prf) as long as half of prefemur, subcylindrical, densely setose along the entire ventral region ( Fig. 75B View Fig ); remaining podomeres with setae along the mesal region.

SECOND LEG-PAIR OF MALES. Coxa (cx) large and subrectangular; penis (pn) located at proximal region, rounded, not extended basally ( Fig. 75C View Fig ); prefemur compressed dorsoventrally; remaining podomeres setose.

GONOPODS. Gonocoxa (gcx) elongated, almost twice as long as telopodite, with the base slightly arched; antero-posteriorly flattened ( Fig. 75D–F View Fig ); with rows of papillae mesally. Seminal groove (sg) curved; arising medially on mesal cavity and terminating apically on the seminal apophysis (sa); thickened basally and protruded on squamous region of sl ( Fig. 75E View Fig ). Shoulder (sh) inconspicuous. Telopodite (tp) as wide as half of gcx ( Fig. 75D View Fig ); solenomere (sl) with apicomesal process (amp) short; ectal process (ep) subtriangular, elongated and perpendicular to amp; sa located at mesal portion, visible apically. Internal branch (ib) swollen, curved apically, S-shaped, and enfolding sl in anal view; ib with setae along its entire margin not exceeding apically seminal region of sl ( Fig. 75D–F View Fig ).

VULVAE. As typical for the genus. Bursa subtriangular, glabrous ( Fig. 177L View Fig ); internal valve subtriangular, with mesal region rounded; operculum large, curved ectad; external valve wide, subtriangular.

Distribution

The species occurs in the Atlantic Forest from Rio Grande do Sul up to Santa Catarina State, Brazil ( Fig. 183 View Fig ).

Comments

Although the examination of the lectotype and paralectotypes (two males and two females) deposited at the Muséum national d’histoire naturelle, Paris, France (MNHN), was not possible during this study, the original description and drawings provided by Brölemann (1929) are highly detailed.
