Justification of synonymy

Pseudonannolene tricolor rugosus and P. tricolor gracilis were described considering only the body color variation and number of transverse striae on metazonites. Through the examination of the type material, as well as the accurate exam of additional specimens, we conclude that there is no morphological difference to justify the separation of these taxa. Therefore, both subspecies are considered junior synonyms of P. tricolor .

Diagnosis

Males of P. tricolor resemble those of P. longicornis by having the gonocoxa largely subcylindrical and a large shoulder (Fig. 135D–F), but differing by a shovel-shaped internal branch, slightly curved ectad at midlength, in anal view (Fig. 135D).

Etymology

Although unspecified, the name is evidently referring to the pattern of coloration of the body rings of living specimens: black, white and red.

Descriptive notes

MEASUREMENTS. 55–61 body rings (1–2 apodous + telson). Males: body length 79.3–81.9 mm; maximum midbody diameter 4.8–4.9 mm. Females: body length 68–81 mm; maximum midbody diameter 4.8– 5 mm.

COLOR. Body color brownish; head, collum, and antennae darker; prozonites anteriorly greyish; metazonites with a posterior band reddish; legs lighter brown.

HEAD. Antennae short (Fig. 164L), 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 rounded, with 8 striae, curved ectad (Fig. 134A). Very faintly constricted between prozonite and metazonite; prozonites smooth; metazonites laterally with transverse striae slightly above ozopore in anterior body rings. Anterior sterna in midbody rings subrectangular, with shallow transverse striae (Fig. 173C).

FIRST LEG-PAIR OF MALES. Coxae (cx) short (less than half of remaining podomere lengths), subtriangular, with the base strongly arched and expanded, densely setose (Fig. 135A); prefemoral process (prf) as long as prefemur, subcylindrical, apically narrow, densely setose up to its median region (Fig. 135B); remaining podomeres with setae along the mesal region.

SECOND LEG-PAIR OF MALES. Coxa (cx) large and rounded; penis (pn) located at proximal region, rounded, not extended basally (Fig. 135C); prefemur compressed dorsoventrally; remaining podomeres setose.

GONOPODS. Gonocoxa (gcx) elongated, largely subcylindrical, with the base arched; antero-posteriorly flattened (Figs 135D–F, 211E); with rows of papillae mesally. Seminal groove (sg) curved; arising medially on mesal cavity and terminating apically on the seminal apophysis (sa). Shoulder (sh) large, rounded. Telopodite (tp) almost as wide as gcx (Fig. 135D); solenomere (sl) with apicomesal process (amp) subtriangular, short; ectal process (ep) subtriangular, separating from amp by shallow notch; sa located at mesal portion, slightly visible apically. Internal branch (ib) shovel-shaped, narrow and foliaceous; slightly curved ectad at midlength; setae of ib exceeding seminal region of sl (Figs 135D–F, 211B).

VULVAE. As typical for the genus. Bursa subtriangular, glabrous (Fig. 179C); internal valve subtriangular, with mesal region clearly rounded; operculum curved ectad; external valve wide, subtriangular.

Distribution

The species is widely distributed in the São Paulo State, and intriguingly with a disjunct population from the Araguaia-Tocantins basin (ca 1500 km from São Paulo) (Fig. 189).
