Eusarcus elinae Kury

Eusarcus elinae Kury 2008: 249 , figs. 9–17 (ma holotype & 1 fe paratype; “ Caverna Pedra Furada, Sistema Lapa Doce; Iraquara ; Bahia; Pedroso, D.R. & Bichuette, M.E. leg.; 31.iii.2005; MNRJ 17776 ”; examined).

Material examined: BRAZIL. Bahia: Iraquara (Caverna Pedra Furada, Sistema Lapa Doce), Pedroso, D.R. & Bichuette, M.E. leg., 31.iii.2005, ma holotype & 1 fe paratype ( MNRJ 17776 ) .

Diagnosis: E. elinae resembles E. aduncus , E. berlae , E. cavernicola , E. fulvus , E. signatus , E. sooretamae , E. mirabilis and E. sergipanus because of the conical prolateral median apophysis on the male trochanter IV, and can be distinguished by: The presence of PAM; ocularium with a pair of large tubercles; scutal area III with one median hump close to groove IV; posterior margin of prolateral apical apophysis of coxa IV without conspicuous projections; femur IV 1.5 times longer than dorsal scutum.

Type locality: Brazil, Bahia, Iraquara, Lapa Doce .

Geographical distribution: Known only from type locality.

Note: As Kury (2008) suggested, this species is placed close to the species which formerly were in Metagraphinotus .
