Description

Paraclorindaia brasileira (Zahniser) n.comb.

(Figs. 53–54)

Clorindaia brasileira Zahniser, 2004 in Zahniser & Webb, 2004: 671–673 [original description, illustration, morphology]; Zanol, 2008: 45 [catalogue]; Remes Lenicov & Paradell, 2009: 267–269 [illustration, morphology, distribution, key]; Zahniser, 2007 [online catalogue]; Freytag & Gaiani, 2017 [online catalogue]

Diagnosis. This species is distinguished from others in the genus by the thin anterior margin of the head and the long, claw-like tooth on the posteroventral corner of the male pygofer.

Material examined. Specimens were not examined in this study.

Distribution. Brazil (Goiás), Argentina (Corrientes and Entre Ríos Provinces)

Remarks. This species is transferred to Paraclorindaia here based on the characters defining the new genus and its differentiation from Clorindaia.
