Abstract: |
|
|
|
Cryptocellus
abaporu sp. n. is described based on material of both sexes from
Ji-Paraná, southwest Rondônia, Brazil, which represents the southernmost
record of the genus. The new species appears to be similar to both C.
simonis and C. foedus based on the high concentration of
tubercles on the caparace and terguites. |
