Etymology

The specific epithet is a tribute by the first author (PVC) to Itanna O. Fernandes: best friend, fantastic wife and the person who found the lake that is the only location at which this new species has been collected.

Comments

The nymphs of C. itannae sp. nov. and C. willineri are similar, although those of C. itannae sp. nov. have trifid spine-like setae on tarsi ( Figure 15C View Figure 15 ) and labrum ventrally with many long, simple setae near anterolateral margin ( Figure 14B View Figure 14 ). Nymphs of C. willineri , on the other hand, have pectinate setae on tarsi (fig. 82 in Nieto 2008) and labrum ventrally without many long, simple setae near anterolateral margin (fig. 76a in Nieto 2008).
