Tyrannoseira gladiata Zeppelini & Lima, 2012: 37 View Cited Treatment , figs. 1–18 (orig. descr.).

Type locality: Brazil, Paraíba State, Araruna, State Park Pedra da Boca.

Type material examined. Holotype male, paratypes 3 males and 8 females ( MNRJ /2294), examined before fire in September 2018.

Typological note. The type material of T. gladiata deposited at MNRJ was destroyed by fire in September 2018, except for 2 males and 1 female paratypes (MNRJ/2294). One of these male paratypes is designated as the neotype of the species following the ICZN (2000) (see the code chapter 16, article 72.4.5.).

Specimens completely dark brown to dark red, pale from Ant I to proximal half of Ant II, proximal one-third of Ant III–IV, trochanter to tibiotarsus, distally on collophore and two-thirds of dens; eyepatches black (similar to T. bicolorcornuta , Fig 1B View FIGURE 1 ). Scales present from Ant I to basal half of Ant III, dorsal and ventral head, Th and Abd dorsally, legs (except claws), anterior collophore, and manubrium and dens ventrally.

Clypeal formula with 4 (l1–2), 4 (f1–2), 3 (pf0–1) ciliate chaetae, l1 larger and apically acuminate, f2 smaller, others subequal ( Fig. 24C View FIGURE 24 ).

Remarks. Tyrannoseira gladiata especially resembles T. bicolorcornuta in the antennal colour pattern and general morphology. Differences between these two species are shown in Table 1 View TABLE 1 .
