Guaporeptus paradisius Hoffman, 1988a: 329 View in CoL (male holotype and female paratype from Alto Paraíso, Rondônia, Brazil, 23-26.xii.1983, P.E. Vanzolini leg., deposited in MZSP, examined).

Note: Specimens identified by Hoffman and housed at MZSP were erroneously labeled by the author as G. petaloproctus [sic].

Diagnosis: Same for the genus.

Material examined: Brazil: Mato Grosso: CotriguaÇu, Fazenda São Nicolau [09°51′21.9″S, 58°14′51.8″W], 11.xii.2009, L.D. Battirola leg., ♀ ( ABAM) GoogleMaps ; 13.xii.2009, D.A. Batistella leg., ♀ ( ABAM) GoogleMaps ; ♂, ♀ ( ABAM) GoogleMaps ; 08.xii.2009, 3 ♂♂, ♀, 2 immatures ( ABAM 0075 ) ; 13.xii.2010, 2 ♂♂ ( ABAM 0087 ) ; 10.xii.2010, 4 ♂♂ ( ABAM 0090 ) ; 02.xi.2014, M. Karam-Gemael leg., 6 ♂♂, ♀, 1 immature ( CZUFMT), Chapada dos Guimarães [15°28′00.9″S, 55°45′04.8″W], REA, Sítio II, Floresta Galeria, 27.ix.2005, 3 ♂♂, 4 ♀♀, 1 immature ( CZUFMT) GoogleMaps .

Descriptive notes: Male and female, see description in Hoffman (1988a: 329, figs. 8-14). Size: Body length 47.5-51 mm., vertical midbody diameter 4-4.8 mm., 51-54 podous body rings. The examined specimens from Mato Grosso perfectly fit the original description of G. paradisius . Males agree in having birdhead-shaped distolateral metaplical process (dmp), short antetorsal process curved mesad; telopodite (tp) with two complete 360° torsions ( Figs. 7 View Figure 7 A-B; 8D). The first leg-pair has a subtriangular and glabrous prefemoral process (pfp), as noted by Hoffman (1988a: 331) ( Fig. 6 View Figure 6 C-D). Small ventral pads on postfemur and tibia on midbody leg-pairs ( Fig. 6D View Figure 6 ). Females with nonsexual characters as in males ( Fig. 3 View Figure 3 C-D).

Distribution: The species was known only from its type locality in Alto Paraíso, Rondônia; now also known from surrounding areas in the state of Mato Grosso (Madeira and Cerrado provinces).
