The species name, “ picus ” (from the Latin for woodpecker), is a reference to the long, pointed tapering G1TA that resembles a stout woodpecker beak, together with the unusual distinctive tuft of long setae at the base of the terminal article of this species gives the G1TA a resemblance to the head of the cartoon character Woody Woodpecker, the mascot of Universal Pictures. The specific epithet is given a masculine ending and is used as a Latin noun in the genitive singular.</p><p>Distribution.

Tanzania, <a href="https://tb.plazi.org/GgServer/search?materialsCitation.longitude=37.507317&amp;materialsCitation.latitude=-5.583224" title="Search Plazi for locations around (long 37.507317/lat -5.583224)">East Usambara Mountains</a>, Bulwa (-5.583224, 37.507317) (Fig. 11).</p><p>Distribution. This species is found in four localities in the East and West Usambara Mountains of Tanzania above 800 m ASL.</p><p>Habitat. Arcopotamonautes infravallatus and A. picus sp. nov. are both found in the montane habitats of the tropical cloud forests in the highlands of the East Usambara Mountains of northeastern Tanzania. The East and West Usambara Mountains are a biodiversity hotspot that lies between Mount Kilimanjaro and the coast and are part of the Eastern Arc Mountain range, a group of highlands in Tanzania that extend southward ending with the Udzungwa and Mahenge Mountains.Amani (the collection locality of both species) is now included in the Amani Nature Forest Reserve, a protected area in the Tanga Region of Tanzania. At Amani, A. infravallatus was collected from a tiny spring in an area with no surface water that had been cleared for cultivation but subsequently covered with ground vegetation. Crabs were taken either from their holes dug in mud or from under stones.</p><p>Remarks. Identification of specimens assigned to A. infravallatus was based on comparisons with the adult male type of Telphusa infravallata Hilgendorf, 1898 (CW 23.4, CL 15.4, CH 7.4, FW 6.5 mm) (ZMB 11378) in the Museum für Naturkunde, Berlin, Germany. Rathbun (1905) and Chace (1942) both recognized this species but each reassigned it to a different genus, Potamon (Potamonautes) and Potamon respectively. Bott (1955) synonymized T. infravallata with Potamon (Potamonautes) usambarae Rathbun, 1933, and this is accepted here, following comparison of T. infravallata with the adult male cotype of P. (P.) usambarae from Amani in the Usambara Mountains (CW 22.8 mm) (MCZ 7680). Subsequent authors (Reed &amp; Cumberlidge 2006; Ng et al. 2008) treated this species as Potamonautes infravallatus, and Cumberlidge &amp; Daniels (2022) treated it as Arcopotamonautes infravallatus . Chace (1942) recognized Potamon usambarae and Thelphusa infravallata as two separate species, but that opinion is not followed here. In addition, several authors (Balss 1929, 1936; Bott 1955) included A. infravallatus as a junior synonym of A. johnstoni (Miers, 1885), a large species from Mt. Kilimanjaro, Tanzania, but this is not recognized here.</p><p>In the present work, two lots of specimens from the West Usambara Mountains (NMU TRW1970.09; TRW1966.12b) previously assigned to A. xiphoidus Reed &amp; Cumberlidge (2006) were identified here as belonging to A. infravallatus following comparison with the holotype of A. xiphoidus . In addition, two lots of specimens from Amani, East Usambara Mountains (NMU TRW1967.11 and NMU TRW1975.01) previously assigned to A. infravallatus by Reed &amp; Cumberlidge (2006) were identified as belonging to A. xiphoidus Reed &amp; Cumberlidge, 2006 following comparison with the holotype of A. xiphoidus .</p><p>Comparisons. The genus Arcopotamonautes (Bott, 1955) currently comprises 17 species from the D. R. Congo, Kenya, Malawi, Rwanda, Tanzania, and Zambia (Cumberlidge &amp; Daniels 2022; Cumberlidge &amp; Jonas 2024). Arcopotamonautes picus sp. nov. and A. infravallatus are assigned to this genus because they conform to the diagnosis provided by Cumberlidge &amp; Daniels (2022: 1291). For example, in both species the postfrontal crest is distinct and completely traverses the carapace, the epibranchial tooth is reduced to a small granule, and the posterior carapace sulci are all distinct (Figs. 1A, B, 7A, B).</p><p>Arcopotamonautes picus sp. nov. and A. infravallatus can be distinguished from A. suprasulcatus (Hilgendorf, 1898) and A. bellarussus (Daniels, Phiri &amp; Bayliss, 2014) by the form of the G1TA, which is slim and cone-shaped in A. picus sp. nov. (Fig. 4A–C) and stout and cone-shaped in A. infravallatus (Figs. 6C, 10A, B, D) (versus slim, curved, and needle-like in A. suprasulcatus and A. bellarussus (see Daniels et al. 2014: fig. 5A, B)). Arcopotamonautes picus sp. nov. and A. infravallatus can be distinguished from A. xiphoidus (Reed &amp; Cumberlidge, 2006) by the form of the G1TA, which is has a tuft of long setae proximally in A. picus sp. nov. (Fig. 4A–C) and short setae all along its length in A. infravallatus (Figs. 6 C, 10A, B, D) (versus a G1TA that lacks setae in A. xiphoidus (see Reed &amp; Cumberlidge 2006: figs. 171–172)). Arcopotamonautes picus sp. nov. and A. infravallatus can be distinguished from A. orbitospinus (Cunnington, 1907) from Lake Malawi and A. platynotus (Cunnington, 1907) from Lake Tanganyika by the form of the carapace lateral margin which is smooth and lacks teeth in A. picus sp. nov. (Fig. 1A, B) and A. infravallatus (Figs. 5A, 7A, B) (versus a carapace lateral margin that has several teeth behind the epibranchial tooth in A. orbitospinus (see Reed &amp; Cumberlidge 2006: pl. V, A, B; fig. 42 (as Potamonautes lirrangensis), and A. platynotus (see Reed &amp; Cumberlidge 2006: fig. 94)). Arcopotamonautes picus sp. nov. and A. infravallatus can be distinguished from A. platycentron (Hilgendorf, 1897) from Lake Chala (Kenya and Tanzania) by the form of the cheliped carpus distal tooth, which is small but pointed in A. picus sp. nov. (Fig. 3D) and A. infravallatus (Figs. 6D, 7A, 9C) (versus extremely broad and blunt in A. platycentron (see Reed &amp; Cumberlidge 2006: figs. pl. IX, A)). Arcopotamonautes picus sp. nov. can be distinguished from A. unisulcatus (Rathbun, 1933) by the sulci on the anterior thoracic sternum, where the S3/4 is distinct and completely traverses the thoracic sternum in A. picus sp. nov. (Fig. 2B) (versus a S3/4 that is deep at sides and obscure in the middle in A. unisulcatus (see Reed &amp; Cumberlidge 2006: fig. 130)). Arcopotamonautes picus sp. nov. can be distinguished from A. amosae (Cumberlidge, Johnson, Clark &amp; Genner, 2021), A. caputanatis (Cumberlidge, Fastiggi &amp; Clark, 2019), A. johnstoni (Miers, 1885), A. raybouldi (Cumberlidge &amp; Vannini, 2004), A. gerdalensis (Bott, 1955) and A. montivagus (Chace, 1953) by the form of the G1TA, which comprises low dorsal and ventral lobes and lacks a distinct crest in A. picus sp. nov. (Fig. 4A, B, D, E) and A. infravallatus (Fig. 10A, B, D) (versus a G1TA where the dorsal lobe and/or ventral lobe has a distinct raised rounded crest in A. amosae, A. caputanatis, A. johnstoni (see Reed &amp; Cumberlidge 2006: figs. 151, 152), A. raybouldi (see Reed &amp; Cumberlidge 2006: figs. 165, 166), A. gerdalensis (see Reed &amp; Cumberlidge 2006: figs. 147, 148), and A. montivagus (see Chace 1953: fig. 3e–g, j)).</p><p>Arcopotamonautes picus sp. nov. can be distinguished from A. infravallatus by the sulci on the anterior thoracic sternum, where the S3/4 is distinct and completely traverses the thoracic sternum in A. picus sp. nov. (Fig. 2B, C) (versus a S3/4 that is U-shaped, distinct at margins and faint in the middle in A. infravallatus; Figs. 5B, C, 8B, C); by the margins of thoracic sternite S4, which are low in A. picus sp. nov. (Fig. 2B, C) (versus distinctly raised and thickened in A. infravallatus; Figs. 5B, C, 8B, C); by the inferior margins of the cheliped merus which are each lined by large teeth in A. picus (Fig. 3C, D) (versus cheliped merus inferior margins lined by small faint granules in A. infravallatus; Figs. 6C, D, 9C, D); and by the G1TA which is a slim cone with a tuft of long setae proximally in A. picus sp. nov. (Fig. 4A, B, D–F) (versus a G1TA which is a stout cone with short setae all along its length in A. infravallatus; Figs. 6E, 10A, B, D).</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/C50387EEFFE8B34834CAE7E0EA5E01ED	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.
