Chaetotaxy: genu II 2 - 2 / 0, 2 / 0 - 1, genu III 1 - 2 / 1, 2 / 0 - 1. Specimens examined — 3 ♂♂ collected by M. G. C. Gondim Jr. on 8 Jan. 1999 from leaves of Acrocomia aculeata (Jacq.) Lodd. Ex Mart., Igarassu-PE, Brazil, at 7 ° 53 ’ 27 ” S, 34 ° 58 ’ 36 ” W; 1 ♂ collected by E. A. S. F. Melo on 19 Apr. 2016 from leaves of Euterpe oleraceae Mart., Estação Experimental ‘ Lemos Maia’ – CEPLAC, Una-BA, Brazil, at 15 ° 17 ’ 34 ” S, 39 ° 04 ’ 38 ” W.	en	Melo, Elisângela A. dos S.

DC3C87C6D90CFFE0FE73FB05507FFDCD.taxon	discussion	Remarks — Male dorsal shield reticulation, pores and setae similar to female, except that r 3 and R 1 are inserted on the shield, and that setae are generally shorter in the male (Denmark and Andrews 1981; Chant and McMurtry 1994; Gondim Jr. and Moraes 2001; Souza et al. 2015). Peritreme extends to the level of z 3, as reported for females by Chant and McMurtry (1994) and Gondim Jr. and Moraes (2001), reported by Denmark and Andrews (1981) as extending beyond s 4 in female holotype. Movable cheliceral digit with one tooth, instead of none in the female (Denmark and Andrews 1981; Chant and McMurtry 1994). Although chaetotaxy of genua II and III differ from what was described for the holotype female (Denmark and Andrews 1981), by the absence of a ventral seta on genu II and the presence of a ventral seta on genu III, the chaetotaxy of the male (genu II 2 - 2 / 0, 2 / 0 - 1, genu III 1 - 2 / 1, 2 / 0 - 1) is the same of five females we checked from the mite collection of UESC (vouchers from Souza et al. 2015) and of C. palmarum (Gondim Jr. et al. 2000).	en	Melo, Elisângela A. dos S.
