Figures 22, 25

Angelodesmus defensor Hoffman, 1976: 174, figs 7−10. Male holotype from Fazenda Aceiro, Jataí (17°52’54”S, 51°42’51”W), Goiás, Brazil, XI.1962, R. Hoffman coll., deposited in MZSP 1067, examined. Paratypes: one male, with same data of the holotype, MZSP 1068; one male and one female with the same data of the holotype, deposited in VMNH 110613.1 and VMNH 110613.2, respectively, not examined.

Diagnosis. Adult males differ from all other species of the genus by the combination of the following characters: presence of a wide lateral expansion in the solenomere (Fig. 22D) and the prefemoral process completely involving the solenomere, in ectal view (Fig. 22F).

Description. Male (Holotype, MZSP 1067). Coloration (long-preserved in 70% ethanol): Head and antennae ochre (both antennae of the holotype are broken). Body ocher with the edges of the paranota whitish (Figs 22A– C). Legs ocher yellowish. Telson ocher. Total length: 34.63. Total width: 5.26. Collum, length 1.39, width 4.62. Antennomere lengths (1>7): 0.46; 1.28; 1.09; 1.17; 1.18; 1.10; 0.34. Podomeres lengths (1>7): 0.55; 0.70; 1.74; 0.68; 0.79; 1.27; 0.39. Gonopod aperture, length 1.03, width 1.68. Telson, length 0.93. Gonopod: length 1.99, width 0.94. Gonocoxae: length 0.58, width 0.29. Telopodite: length 1.99, width 0.65. Prefemoral process long (slightly larger than the solenomere) and narrow (Fig. 22E). Solenomere long with a lateral membranous expansion (Fig. 22D). Cingulum in basal position (Fig. 22F). Apex of the solenomere acuminate and ascending (Figs 22D).

Female (Paratype, VMNH 110613.2). See Hoffman (1976): 176 to taxonomic notes.

Distribution. Known only from the type locality (Fig. 25).
