Diagnosis

Males of P. aurea sp. nov. slightly resemble those of P. paulista by having a solenomere with a spiniform ectal process deeply notched separating from apicomesal process ( Fig. 148D View Fig ), but differing by an internal branch subtriangular with distal projection ( Fig. 148D–F View Fig ).

Etymology

The species epithet is derived from the Latin adjective ‘ aurum ’ = ‘golden’; in reference to the type locality Dianópolis, which is historically known for the gold mining activities in the region.

Description

MEASUREMENTS. 58–63 body rings (1–2 apodous + telson). Males: body length 63.1 mm; maximum midbody diameter 3.6–3.8 mm. Females: body length 61.4–67.8 mm; maximum midbody diameter 3.7–4.1 mm.

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

HEAD. Antennae short, just reaching back to end of ring 5 when extended dorsally; relative antennomere lengths 1<2<3>4≈5≈6>7. Mandibular cardo with ventral margin narrow. Ommatidial cluster well-developed, elliptical; ca 35 ommatidia in 5 rows.

BODY RINGS. Collum with lateral lobes rounded, with ca 10 striae, slightly curved ectad ( Fig. 147A View Fig ). Very faintly constricted between prozonite and metazonite; prozonites smooth; metazonites laterally with transverse striae slightly above ozopore in anterior body rings. Anterior sterna in midbody rings subrectangular, without transverse striae ( Fig. 175D View Fig ).

FIRST LEG-PAIR OF MALES. Coxae (cx) short (less than half of remaining podomere lengths), subtriangular, with the base arched and strongly expanded, densely setose ( Fig. 148A View Fig ); prefemoral process (prf) as long as prefemur, subcylindrical, densely setose up to its median region ( Fig. 148B View Fig ); remaining podomeres with setae along the mesal region.

SECOND LEG-PAIR OF MALES. Coxa (cx) large and rounded; penis (pn) located at proximal region, rounded, not extended basally ( Fig. 148C View Fig ); prefemur compressed dorsoventrally; remaining podomeres setose.

GONOPODS. Gonocoxa (gcx) elongated, almost twice as long as telopodite, with the base arched; antero-posteriorly flattened ( Fig. 148D–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). Shoulder (sh) subtriangular. Telopodite (tp) almost as wide as gcx, with deep depression separating from sh ( Fig. 148D View Fig ); solenomere (sl) with apicomesal process (amp) subtriangular; ectal process (ep) spiniform, elongated, separating from amp by deep notch; sa located at mesal portion, slightly visible apically. Internal branch (ib) subtriangular, narrow, surrounding basally tp as a shield; with torsion of 180° in the distal portion and projection directed diagonally upwards; ib with setae along its entire margin exceeding apically seminal region of sl ( Fig. 148D–F View Fig ).

VULVAE. As typical for the genus. Bursa subtriangular, glabrous ( Fig. 179M View Fig ); internal valve subtriangular, slightly rounded mesally; operculum narrow, curved ectad; external valve subtriangular.
