Scale bars: A–C = 200µm; D–F = 100µm. Minor cheliped similar to major cheliped except as noted ( Fig. 3). Dactylus: proximal lobe on dorsal margin slightly more pronounced. Cutting margin formed by narrow corneous scales, lobular basal tooth rudimentary. Propodus: palm low (ratio = 4.58), cutting margin of fixed finger with row of narrow corneous scales up to distal end, lobular basal tooth absent, palmar crest rectangular. Carpus: dorsal margin with three proximal tubercles, inner surface with five scattered tubercles unequal in size, ending in corneous scales and setae. Outer surface of carpus with three small tubercles near dorsal margin. Merus: ventrolateral border with two subdistal and two proximal low tubercles with terminal corneous scales. Ischium: ventromesial border with two mesial corneous scales. Second, third and fourth pereiopods morphologically similar. Dactylus with several rows of setal tufts and scattered small corneous scales on general surface. Propodus and carpus with scattered setae and small corneous scales concentrated mainly along dorsal margin. Merus with scattered, small, simple setae on general surface, long pappose setae on dorsal margin, and small corneous scales on dorsal and ventral margins. Ischium with long pappose setae on dorsal margin. Fifth pereiopods reduced, chelate. Dactylus small, flattened, forming setose minute chela with propodus. Sexual tube short, wide ( Figs 8D–E). Pleopods 2 to 5, showing as buds. Anterolateral angle of second abdominal epimeron with corneous scales. Ventral angles of third and fourth abdominal epimera well defined, unarmed. Anterior margin of second abdominal epimeron concave ( Fig. 9B). Uropods well developed, narrow ( Fig. 9D). Telson with anterolateral and posterolateral margins well differentiated, posterolateral margin straight ( Fig. 9D).  Variations.In some specimens, the epigastric prominences and protogastric lobes are less developed than in the holotypeof  Aegla quilombola  n. sp., and the anterior margin of the first hepatic lobe and axis of rostrum can be oriented with respect to each other to form an angle of about 90°. The areola varies from sub-rectangular (male holotypeand two additional males) to subquadrate (seven additional males), in which the mean ratio varies between 1.60 ± 0.11; n = 10. Also, the proximal lobe on the dorsal margin of the dactylus of the major chela may be absent (as opposed to rudimentary) and the cutting margin can present narrow corneous scales (instead of flattened corneous scales). In most specimens, the anterolateral angle of second abdominal epimeron is devoid of corneous scales.   Etymology.The specific epithet " quilombola" is derived from the African Kimbundu language "Kilombo", meaning settlement, refuge. The valley of the Ribeira de Iguape River is home to many descendants from the old "quilombos", who still preserve the culture and traditions of their ancestors. It is a noun in apposition.   Remarks.  Aegla marginata Bond-Buckup & Buckup, 1994 sensu latois herein divided into two species:  Aegla marginata sensu stricto(restricted to the southern population from the Litorânea Hydrographic Basin—Paraná and Santa Catarina, Brazil) and  Aegla quilombola  n. sp., established herein for the populations from the Ribeira de Iguape Hydrographic Basin ( São Paulo, Brazil).  Aegla marginata sensu strictoand  A. quilombola  n. sp.resemble each other in the proximal lobe of the dorsal margin of dactylus of major chela being low and blunt, and the cutting margin of the dactylus of the major chela provided with wide corneous scales. They further share rudimentary, not excavated palmar crest on the major cheliped, whose margin is poorly indented and covered by corneous scales and short setae, and narrow corneous scales on the cutting margin of dactylus and propodus of the minor chela. However, the new species differs from  Aegla marginata sensu strictoin having: (i) the proximal part of rostrum distinctly wide (versus base of rostrum much narrower in  A. marginata) ( Figs 4A, B); (ii) markedly shallow, narrow extraorbital sinuses (versus extraorbital sinuses much deeper and wider in  A. marginata) ( Figs 4A, B); (iii) the subrostral margin markedly low (versus subrostral margin distinctly high in  A. marginata) ( Figs 5A, B); (iv) poorly defined hepatic lobes (versus well defined hepatic lobes in  A. marginata) ( Figs 5A, B); (v) short subrostral process (versus subrostral process markedly longer in  A. marginata) ( Figs 6A–B); (vi) the third thoracic sternite tapered (versus sternite abrupt in  A. marginata) ( Figs 6E–F); (vii) the palmar crest of the minor cheliped moderately high with strongly indented margin (versus palmar crest low, margin poorly indented in  A. marginata) ( Figs 7A–B); (viii) the major cheliped with strong carpal ridge (versus carpal ridge distinctly lower in  Aegla marginata) ( Figs 7C, D); (ix) short and wide sexual tubes (versus sexual tubes distinctly longer and slender in  Aegla marginata( Fig. 8A–F). 1655995328 CLE N.
