Diagnosis

Males of P. sebastianus resemble those of P. halophila, P. maritima, P. patagonica, and P. insularis by having large and subrectangular coxae on the first leg-pair (Fig. 122A) and a suboval penis (Fig. 122C), but differing by having the solenomere rounded, seminal apophysis located medially (Fig. 122D), and internal branch without horizontal plate (Fig. 122D–F).

Etymology

Although unspecified, the name is evidently an adjective referring to the locality where the type material was found, Ilhabela (formerly Ilha de São Sebastião).

Descriptive notes

MEASUREMENTS. 55–58 body rings (1 apodous + telson). Males: body length 49.5–63.5 mm; maximum midbody diameter 3–3.3 mm. Females: body length 59–90 mm; maximum midbody diameter 3.4– 4.8 mm.

COLOR. Body color brownish grey; head and collum darker; antennae greyish; prozonites anteriorly greyish; metazonites with a medial darker band and a posterior brownish; legs brownish.

HEAD. Antennae short (Fig. 121A), 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 broadly rounded, with ca 9 deep striae (Fig. 121A). Very faintly constricted between prozonite and metazonite; prozonites smooth; metazonites laterally with transverse striae above ozopore in anterior body rings. Anterior sterna in midbody rings subrectangular, with 8–9 transverse striae (Fig. 172B).

FIRST LEG-PAIR OF MALES. Coxae (cx) elongated (as long as the sum of remaining podomere lengths), subrectangular, with the base arched, densely setose (Fig. 122A); prefemoral process (prf) elongated and as wide as half of prefemur, subcylindrical, densely setose along the entire ventral region (Fig. 122B); remaining podomeres with setae along the mesal region.

SECOND LEG-PAIR OF MALES. Coxa (cx) as long as the sum of remaining podomere lengths, rounded; penis (pn) located at proximal region, rounded, extended basally (Fig. 122C); prefemur compressed dorsoventrally; remaining podomeres setose.

GONOPODS. Gonocoxa (gcx) elongated, almost twice as long as telopodite, with the base arched; antero-posteriorly flattened (Fig. 122D–F); with rows of papillae mesally. Seminal groove (sg) curved; arising medially on mesal cavity and terminating apically on the seminal apophysis (sa). Shoulder (sh) rounded. Telopodite (tp) almost as wide as gcx (Fig. 122D), with short laterad projection; solenomere (sl) rounded, with apicomesal process (amp) subtriangular; ectal process absent; sa located at medial portion, visible apically. Internal branch (ib) subtriangular, narrow, surrounding basally tp as a shield; ib with setae along its entire margin nearly exceeding apically seminal region of sl (Fig. 122D–F).

VULVAE. As typical for the genus. Bursa subtriangular, glabrous (Fig. 178L); internal valve subtriangular, with mesal region rounded; operculum narrow, slightly curved ectad; external valve wide, subtriangular.

Distribution

The species is widely distributed in the Atlantic Forest of the coastal region of São Paulo State, Brazil, including some continental islands (Fig. 187).

Comments

The lectotype and paralectotypes (two males) from Ilha de São Sebastião deposited at the Muséum national d’histoire naturelle, Paris, France (MNHN), were not examined during this study.
