Diagnosis. Campsurus indivisus can be distinguished from other species of Campsurus , in the adult stage, by: 1) posterior margin of male abdominal sternum IX strongly concave with posterolateral round corners slightly to markedly protruding ( Fig. 123 View FIGURES 123 – 128 ) and with short medial furrow; 2) pedestals bases distinctly separated in the middle ( Fig. 123 View FIGURES 123 – 128 ), pedestals with long and apically rounded parastylus (p in Fig. 124 View FIGURES 123 – 128 ), inner corner slightly projected (ic in Fig. 124 View FIGURES 123 – 128 ); 3) penes base large, apically membranous and amorphous with small apicodorsal extension; main lobe of penes finger-like and slightly curved ventromedially (ml in Fig. 125 View FIGURES 123 – 128 ), secondary lobe of penes tubular and short (sl in Fig. 125 View FIGURES 123 – 128 ); 4) small to medium size (length of male fore wings 7–10 mm); 5) female sockets as in Fig. 129 View FIGURES 129 – 137 ; 6) egg without polar cap, with amorphous structure on convex side. In the nymph: 1) anterolateral blunt tubercle at base of antenna with apex curved upwards, pedicel and scape with long strong setae ( Fig. 130 View FIGURES 129 – 137 ); 2) pre-ocular group of setae on gena formed by 6–8 setae in oblique row, inner margin of eye with 3 setae ( Fig. 130 View FIGURES 129 – 137 ); 3) mandibular tusks ( Figs. 131–133 View FIGURES 129 – 137 ) somewhat flattened, with apex slightly curved inward, inner margin with 13–15 small blunt tubercles, outer margin with ca. 15 strong spine-like setae (mostly near the base), dorsomedial surface bare; 4) fore femur ( Figs. 134–135 View FIGURES 129 – 137 ) slender (ratio L/W = 2.6), fore tibiae with subparallel margins; 5) all tarsal claws with minute denticles increasing in size distally, distributed in marginal row of 3 denticles on fore claw but 14–16 denticles in middle and hind claws.

Morphological variability. Male imagos from Arquipélago de Anavilhanas (Manaus) show some notable variations. The head is darker on the medio-longitudinal band, and stripes emerge from this band. Gray-shading is more pronounced, mostly on the abdomen (all sterna shaded laterally) and the thoracic pleura & sterna (carinae shaded).

Discussion. We here propose that C. duplicatus is a subjective junior synonym of C. indivisus , because the illustrations and descriptions given by Spieth (1943) coincide with Ulmer’s (1942) characterization of C. indivisus . The nymph of C. indivisus can be easily differentiated from other species due to the relatively scarce setae and spines on the mandibular tusks; on the outer margin, only ca. 15 spine-like setae are present, most of them near the base and only 3–4 on the apical half of the tusk. Campsurus indivisus is most closely related to C. inusitatus sp. nov. (see discussion under this species). Characters on the egg (no polar cap, amorphous structure on the convex side) and nymph (setation of head and mandibular tusk) are also present in most species nearly related to C. cuyuniensis and C. lucidus .
