03A887D7FFA0FFD3DFF8F940DCDC2188.taxon	diagnosis	Diagnosis A species of Tenuipalpus Donnadieu, 1875 (Tenuipalpidae Berlese, 1913), type species: T. palmatus Donnadieu [= T. caudatus (Dugès], with characters of sensu lato group as presented by Castro et al. (2016, 2022). The species exhibits the following specific features: FEMALE — Anterior margin of prodorsum with a pair of median triangular projections forming a notch; central region of prodorsum and opisthosoma medially elevated; dorsum mostly smooth, with a layer of interspersed microplates. Setae v 2 distinctly shorter than setae sc 1 and sc 2; sc 1 and sc 2 strongly serrated, rodlike; opisthosomal setae c 1, c 3 and d 1 short, serrated, slightly longer than setae d 3 and e 1; setae e 3, f 2, f 3 and h 1 serrated, similar in lengths, except e 3 slightly shorter; h 2 whip-like. Ventral surface of propodosoma finely striate anterolaterally, mostly smooth centrally; genital region with soft striae (plates not developed); with a single pair of intercoxal setae 3 a and 4 a; setae ag, g 1 and g 2 smooth. Palp three-segmented, with a single seta ul’ on tarsus. Leg genua I – II each with three setae (d, l’, l ”); tibiae I – II each with three setae (d, v’, v ”). MALE — Anterior margin of prodorsum similar to that of the female; dorsum weakly ornamented; setae similar to those of female. Ventral surface of propodosoma similar to that of the female; opisthosoma with mostly transverse striae between setae 4 a – ag, curved striae laterally to setae ag and longitudinal striae on anal valves. IMMATURE — Prodorsum in the deutonymph and protonymph mostly smooth, with a pair of median triangular projections forming a notch anteriorly; larva without notch, with anterior margin of prodorsum and legs with colliculate sculpturing. Setae v 2 distinctly shorter than setae sc 1 and sc 2. Dorsal opisthosomal setae large and serrated, rodlike, except d 3 and e 1 minute in the deutonymph and protonymph, c 1, d 3 and e 1 short to minute in the larva, and h 2 whip-like in all stages.	en	Nascimento, Renata S., Castro, Elizeu B., Tassi, Aline D., Mineiro, Jeferson L.
