( Figs. 48–50 )

Daidalotarsonemus folisetae Lofego et al., 2005: 2 ; Rezende et al. 2014: 511. Diagnosis. Female: Gnathosoma : Palpal length about 1/4 length of gnathosoma. Dorsum: Coarse ornamentation present on prodorsum. Tergites C and D ornamented with longitudinal depressions. Setae v1, sc2, c1, c2 and h unmodified in shape. Setae v1 shorter than sc2 (~ 28 and ~ 36, respectively). Setae c1 longer than c2 (~ 24 and ~ 15, respectively). Setae c1 inserted near midlength of tergite C. Setae h slightly longer than c2 (~ 18). Setae d, e and f leaf-shaped. Setae d and f identical in shape (elongate-lanceolate), length (~ 40) and width (~ 5). Setae e unique in shape (spatulate), shorter than d and f, but longer than h (~ 29). Setae f ~16 distant from each other, on tubercles.

Venter: Tegula truncate, slightly arched posteriorly. Apodemes distinct, except for prosternal apodeme from level of apodemes 2 to sejugal apodeme. Apodemes 2 not fused to prosternal apodeme. Poststernal apodeme bifurcated anteriorly. Legs: sensory cluster of tibiotarsus I complete. Seta tc” of tarsus II slender. Male & larva: unknown.
