Mucro proximal tooth larger than distal one, mucronal spine surpassing the proximal tooth apex ( Fig. 53D View FIGURE 53 ).
Distribution. Known from Tocantins and Mato Grosso State, Brazil ( Fig. 72 View FIGURE 72 ).
Etymology. Refers to the two blue pigmented regions of the body ( Figs 48A–B View FIGURE 48 ) present in new species (from Latin: bi —two, and from Greek: cyano —blue).
Remarks. Entomobrya byciana sp. nov. resembles E. ataquensis Arlé, 1959 from Serra da Mantiqueira (Minas Gerais and São Paulo states), by body almost completely pigmented ( Figs 48A–B View FIGURE 48 ), Ant IV apical bulb present ( Fig. 49A View FIGURE 49 ), and unguiculus ai lamella excavate ( Figs 52D–E View FIGURE 52 ). However, E. bicyana sp. nov. differs from this species by And II to Abd IV with a depigmented transverse band ( Figs 48A–B View FIGURE 48 ), while E. ataquensis has the body almost completely pigmented (sometimes Abd IV–VI depigmented). The new species also differs by Ant IV bilobed apical bulb ( Fig. 49A View FIGURE 49 ) (unilobed on E. ataquensis ), unguiculus III pe lamella serrated (smooth in E. ataquensis ), and proximal mucronal tooth larger than the apical one (subequal in E. ataquensis ) ( Figs 52D–E View FIGURE 52 ). Other differences between these species are summarized in Table 3.
