Lateral psp: BP 4 with 22 – 25. Ventral psp: Ant II with 1 (rarely 4) and tenaculum posteriorly with 2. Nomenclatural act. In Cipola et al. (2018 b) Lepidocyrtus (Fractocyrtus) americanus Cipola & Bellini, 2018 is described, but the specific name is preoccupied by Lepidocyrtus americanus Marlatt, 1896, itself a junior synonym of Willowsia nigromaculata (Lubbock, 1873) (Christiansen & Bellinger 1998: 1020). Consequently, L. americanus Cipola & Bellini is a junior homonym and it is here replaced (ICZN 2000, chapter 6, article 23.4 and chapter 12, articles 53.3, 54.2 and 60) by Lepidocyrtus amazonaensis nom. nov. as type species of the subgenus Fractocyrtus Cipola & Bellini, 2018 (Cipola et al. 2018 b).	en	Cipola, Nikolas Gioia, Viana, Stéphanie Dos Santos (2023): Two new species of Lepidocyrtus (Fractocyrtus) Cipola & Bellini (Collembola Entomobryidae, Lepidocyrtinae), with new records and a new name for Lepidocyrtus (F.) americanus Cipola & Bellini, 2018.

Refers to region where the species is found, Amazonas State, Brazil (Fig. 19).	en	Cipola, Nikolas Gioia, Viana, Stéphanie Dos Santos (2023): Two new species of Lepidocyrtus (Fractocyrtus) Cipola & Bellini (Collembola Entomobryidae, Lepidocyrtinae), with new records and a new name for Lepidocyrtus (F.) americanus Cipola & Bellini, 2018.

03B5EB078705FFE6FF63FC5B603FA71E.taxon	discussion	Remarks. In the original description of L. (F.) amazonaensis nom. nov. some variation in the body color pattern was not reported, such as total or partial reduction of pigments on some body regions (Fig. 2), regardless of the locality of the specimens (Fig. 19). In addition, an observation error in this species was the number of chaetae on cephalic groove, as there are 5 – 6 chaetae (similar to Fig. 14 E), that is, 1 – 2 additional proximal chaetae (see Cipola et al. 2018 b: 216). Some variations were also observed in specimens from localities recorded here for the first time, such as Careiro Castanho and Nova Olinda do Norte (Amazonas), Melgaço, Oriximiná, Rurópolis and Santarém (Pará), and Boa vista. (Roraima). These specimens may have 14 or more spines on dens (except from Melgaço), but this appears to be a characteristic of less developed specimens (e. g. subadults). Furthermore, in specimens from these four Pará localities, Abd IV bears two extra mac (E 2 and F 1) above mac F 2 and one more (De 3) between mac D 3 and E 4. Considering that apparently these are the only differences and that there is a small number of specimens from these localities for a better investigation, for the moment we will keep these specimens as L. (F.) amazonaensis.	en	Cipola, Nikolas Gioia, Viana, Stéphanie Dos Santos (2023): Two new species of Lepidocyrtus (Fractocyrtus) Cipola & Bellini (Collembola Entomobryidae, Lepidocyrtinae), with new records and a new name for Lepidocyrtus (F.) americanus Cipola & Bellini, 2018.

03B5EB07870CFFF3FF63FD9467B4A6A3.taxon	discussion	Remarks. Lepidocyrtus (Fractocyrtus) andensis sp. nov. resembles L. (F.) mateosi (see Cipola et al. 2018 b: 222) in that the main sensilla of the Ant III sense organ are club-shape, interocular chaetotaxy only with ciliate chaetae, head series A with 2 extra mac, postlabial chaetotaxy with 3 spines and trochanteral organ with about 34 spine-like chaetae (Table 1). However, L. andensis sp. nov. differs from this species by the reduced body color pattern or with pigments restricted on Th II – III laterally and coxae, while L. mateosi has pigmented on head to Abd III and manubrium. On head, L. andensis sp. nov. differs by clypeus with 9 f and 3 pf chaetae (12 f and 2 pf in L. mateosi), labial papilla E l. p. pointed (finger-shape in L. mateosi) and cephalic groove with 7 chaetae (5 in L. mateosi). Concerning the abdominal dorsal chaetotaxy of L. andensis sp. nov. differs by having Abd III with 5 lateral mac and 27 elongated chaetae on lateral tuft (3 and 9 respectively in L. mateosi), Abd IV has 12 lateral mac and 13 median sens (14 and 3 respectively in L. mateosi), BP 4 region with 25 – 29 psp (20 – 25 in L. mateosi), and Abd V with 11 mac (7 in L. mateosi). Lepidocyrtus andensis sp. nov. also differs by having 10 – 12 spines dorsally on the dens (14 – 16 in L. mateosi), collophore anteriorly with 34 anterior and 36 posterior ciliate chaetae (25 and 43 in L. mateosi), lateral flaps with 18 ciliate and 8 smooth chaetae, while L. mateosi has 12 ciliate and 15 smooth chaetae. Other differences among the four species are presented in Table 1.	en	Cipola, Nikolas Gioia, Viana, Stéphanie Dos Santos (2023): Two new species of Lepidocyrtus (Fractocyrtus) Cipola & Bellini (Collembola Entomobryidae, Lepidocyrtinae), with new records and a new name for Lepidocyrtus (F.) americanus Cipola & Bellini, 2018.

However, L. chicomendesi sp. nov. differs from L. amazonaensis in having the head pigmented (depigmented in L. amazonaensis), a longitudinal spot laterally frequently present on Th II to Abd II (Th III to Abd III in L. amazonaensis) and another on Abd IV that extends to the manubrium, whereas in L. amazonaensis the Abd IV has a wide lateral spot (reduced or absent) that is disconnected from the manubrium (Figs 2, 13). In chaetotaxy, L. chicomendesi sp. nov. also differs in having head series An with 15 – 16 mac and series A with 2 supplementary mac (11 and 1 respectively in L. amazonaensis), postlabial X 2 chaeta absent (present in L. amazonaensis), Abd III with 5 lateral mac and 17 chaetae on lateral tuft (4 and 28 respectively in L. amazonaensis), Abd IV with 10 lateral mac and 30 posterior mes (6 and 24 respectively in L. amazonaensis), and BP 4 region with 26 – 29 psp (22 – 25 in L. amazonaensis). Lepidocyrtus chicomendesi sp. nov. additionally, differs in having 14 – 18 spines dorsally on the dens (18 – 23 in L. amazonaensis), collophore with 22 – 26 anterior and 43 posterior ciliate chaetae (20 and 19 – 28 in L. amazonaensis) and lateral flap with 8 – 11 ciliate chaetae (7 in L. amazonaensis).
