03E187E6FFE09F4457C4627EFD39F931.taxon	diagnosis	Diagnosis. Small cosmetids (4 mm of body length) with slender, straight and unarmed legs (Figs 1 and 2). DS outline beta-type with constrictions slightly marked (Fig. 10 A). Scutal area III with a pair of spines (Figs 1, 2, 7, 10 B, except for P. muticum: Fig 10 C). Carapace flat and abdomen more or less convex in lateral view (Figs 9 C, 10 B). Chelicerae monomorphic, basichelicerite with tubercles mostly in proximal part as a transversal row, cheliceral hand armed with equal sized teeth in movable and fixed fingers (Figs 10, 12 A, B). VP of the penis (Figs 12 F-G) subrectangular with distal border straight. From distal to proximal part the macrosetae are: MS C 1 - C 2, MS D 1 - D 2 and MS A 1. MS C 1 - C 2 large, contrasting with the smaller size of other MS; MS D 2 minute. Microsetae of ventral side of VP absent or much reduced – at least for P. melanacanthum (Ferreira, Pedroso & Kury, 2005) and P. u-flavum –, like in Cosmetus and Flirtea, although this character is very plastic in Cosmetidae. In Cynorta there are two patches of T 4 with a median field of T 1 (Kury 2016). Comparisons. Closest to Cosmetus, Cynorta and Metavononoides by (1) dorsal scutum with a backbone of isolated round dots and (2) macrosetae A much reduced in size and in number (to only one pair). Closest to Metavononoides by (1) having the first part of a true lyra (the inner outline), that is, solid circular spots coloring large granules (solid punctulations), defining a fenestra magna (Figs 4 – 6), (2) dots of backbone small (as opposed to large in Cosmetus and Cynorta; except for P. ornatissimum Mello-Leitão, 1942). It differs from Metavononoides by (1) anal operculum sexually dimorphic (in male Paecilaema armed with two or three highlighted tubercles larger than the surrounding granules; Figs 6 E – F, 9 B – D, 10 A – C, except for P. albisectum (Mello-Leitão, 1942), P.	en	Kury, Adriano B., Medrano, Miguel (2018): A whiter shade of pale: anchoring the name Paecilaema C.

Qualifying conditions for the neotype designation. The ICZN Code Art. 75.3 establishes a list of seven particulars to be observed, plus the need for a statement of an exceptional need, all of which follow: The need for the designation of a neotype in this case is acute, because otherwise the most important genus in the family Cosmetidae is used in a loosely defined way, allowing a plethora of unrelated species to be referred to it and thus depleting any taxonomic information contained in the name Paecilaema. The particulars: (1) the neotype is designated here with the express purpose of clarifying the taxonomic status of Cosmetus u-flavus and consequently of the genus Paecilaema; (2) the characters that we regard as differentiating from other taxa the nominal speciesgroup taxon are explicit in the key above and in the diagnosis below; (3) data and description sufficient to ensure recognition of the specimen designated are provided here in the description section; (4) we know that the namebearing type specimen is lost as informed by the curator of ZSM; (5) the neotype is consistent with what is known of the former name-bearing type from the original description especially because of the stress put in the yellow Latin U mask; (6) the neotype came as nearly as practicable from the original type locality as explained above, judging from the itinerary of the original collecting expedition; (7) the neotype is the property of the Museu Nacional / UFRJ, a recognized scientific and educational institution, which is the most important natural history museum in Latin America as well as the second most important collection of harvestmen in the world, second only to the Senckenberg Museum, Frankfurt.	en	Kury, Adriano B., Medrano, Miguel (2018): A whiter shade of pale: anchoring the name Paecilaema C.

Background of body ventral and dorsal and Cx I – IV: 55 (Strong Brown) with abundant darker mottling. Rims of free tergites and anal operculum fading into articular membrane: 68 (Strong Orange Yellow). Paired spines of scutal area III: 65 (Brownish Black). Tr to Ta of legs: 97 (Vivid Greenish Yellow) mottled in black. Solid punctulations of lyra: 104 (Pale Greenish Yellow); rest of lyra the same, but less dense, attenuated. Cx without any light blot. Lyra. True lyra present, with set of 6 fenestrae and containing (1) diaphanous body, and (2) solid punctulations. Diaphanous body U-shaped with two subtly different shades of pale yellow — posterior half a bit more transparent; branches of the U densely perforated with larger apertures on the outside (lateral fenestrae), not connected to each other, and stretching frontwards to the laterals of carapace up to the level of ocularium where it is very narrow. FT triangular. FM more rounded, shaped as an anteriorly open heater shield. Lyre barely reaching lateral borders of prosomal scutum; individual solid punctulations round, not coalesced. Dorsum. Gracile harvestman with slender legs (Figs 1, 7 A). Dorsal scutum in dorsal view type β with attenuate constrictions (Fig. 10 A). Protoglyph and deutoglyph shallow but well-marked (Fig. 10 A). Dorsal scutum in lateral view rising steadily from posterior and anterior borders to area III where it is the highest (Figs 9 C, 10 B). Scutal groove separating carapace from abdominal scutum broad and very shallow. No other grooves present on scutum, thus scutal areas only inferred by granulation pattern (Fig. 10 A). All scutum unarmed, except for area III, armed with paramedian pair of large granulous blunt spines, with thick base, parallel to each other and gently tilted backwards (Figs 9, 10). Ocularium narrow and low, with gentle median depression; unarmed, with one granule row at each side (Figs 9, 10). Granules distributed on carapace on and behind ocularium, and on all abdominal scutum. Free tergites each with a transverse row of granules (Fig. 10). Anal operculum with two rows of small tubercles, with a pair of strong partly fused conical projections on a posterior row (Fig. 10 C). Venter (Figs 11 E, F). Coxae I – III triangular, transverse to main body axis. Coxae II to IV connected by tubercular bridges. Ventral elements of coxa I: El 1 = ca. 10 small tubercles forming a row; El 2 = 5 large tubercles clustered, collinear with El 1; El 3 = 1 very large conical process, matching El 4; El 4 = 1 very large bifid process; El 5 = 2 protuberances. Coxa IV pentagonal, greatly developed, oriented obliquely, but almost parallel to body axis. Stigmatic area T-shaped with stigmata large, unconcealed. Free sternites smooth and unarmed. Chelicerae (Figs 12 A, B). Weak, with well-marked bulla. Posterior border of bulla lined with strong protuberances. Fixed finger with a row of 5 triangular teeth, movable finger with a row of 8 closely placed smaller teeth. Pedipalps (Figs 12 C, D, E). Typical cosmetid Pp, with elongate Tr, foliaceus Fe; this is convex dorsally, with a dorsal row of 8 setiferous tubercles and a ventral row of 12 much more closely positioned setiferous tubercles. Ti only slightly convex to mesal side, with two ventro-marginal rows of small setae and two ventro-apical dentiform apophyses. Ta conical, with scattered dorsal setae and three well-marked ventral rows of subequal setae. Legs. Cx IV surpassing dorsal scutum in dorsal view by all its extension; in situ reaching posterior border of FM (anterior limit of coda). All Fe straight. Fe, Ti and Mt I – IV slender and unarmed. Posterior tarsal claws unpectinate. Tarsal process (“ pseudonychium ” sensu Roewer) well-developed. Tarsal counts in Table 1. Male genitalia (Figs 12 F, G, H). Apical truncus forming a flat podium from where the glans arises. Glans sac short, but dorsally protruded as a flat process, clearly folded into three regions. Stylus dorsally curved, with slit-like opening, ventrally forming a serrate caruncle (wattle) without notable curves or projections. VP of the penis subrectangular, with distal border straight and slightly concave on distal sides. From distal to proximal the lateral macrosetae are: C 1 – C 2, D 1 – D 2 and A 1.
