Mature nymph. (1) Antenna with fine, simple setae on apex of each segment (fig. 10 in Cruz et al. 2009); (2) distal margin of labrum with subquadrangular small emargination (fig. 11a in Cruz et al. 2009); (3) lateral and anterolateral margin of labrum with long, fine, simple setae; (4) maxillary palp reaching apex of galea-lacinia (fig. 15 in Cruz et al. 2009); (5) glossa subequal in length to paraglossa (fig. 16a in Cruz et al. 2009); (6) labial palp with inner and outer margin with many robust, simple setae and many long, fine, simple setae (fig. 16a in Cruz et al. 2009); (7) anterior surface of forefemur with robust trifid and bifid spine-like setae near ventral margin (fig. 17b in Cruz et al. 2009); (8) fore tarsus dorsally with one or two short, robust, spine-like setae; ventrally two rows of long spine-like setae and one row of trifid spine-like setae (fig. 17a in Cruz et al. 2009); (9) anterior surface of hind femur with many robust, curved, pectinate setae near ventral and dorsal margin (fig. 18b,c in Cruz et al. 2009; (10) hind claw similar to foreclaw; (11) gill VII as long as length of segments VIII to IX, with two folds (fig. 23 in Cruz et al. 2009); (12) cerci with posterior margin of segments with short spines on each segment, and long spines on every three segments (fig. 25 in Cruz et al. 2009); (13) terminal filament similar to cerci (fig. 26 in Cruz et al. 2009).

Material examined

Female imago with corresponding nymphal exuviae, BRAZIL, Rio de Janeiro, Nova Friburgo, Lumiar (22 ◦ 23 ′ 27.2 ′′ S, 42 ◦ 20 ′ 03,6 ′′ W), third order tributary of the Rio Bonito , pool, V / 2008 , Souza, M. R . col. ( INPA). Ten nymphs, two male imagos same data, both reared (five nymphs and one male imago in INPA, others in DZRJ) .

Comments

The male imagos of C. zonalis only have as useful diagnostic characteristic the alar pigmentation, which has large variation, matching with alar pigmentation of C. fluminensis male imago. This shared characteristic prevents the differentiation of these species at this stage.

Distribution

Brazil: Rio de Janeiro state, Nova Friburgo county.
