Agraphorura mariapetrae (Thibaud, 1993)

Onychiurus mariapetrae Thibaud, 1993: 71

Material examined: Brazil, Rio de Janeiro, Restinga de Jurubatiba National Park, sand beach and litter of “restinga” areas; Silveira, T.C. coll. 08/IV/2015 : 3 exs; 09/VII/2015: 5 exs; 10/XII/2015: 18 exs.

Remarks: Agraphorura mariapetrae was described from material collected from beach sands of the Lesser Antilles. This species had already been reported in “Restinga” de Itaipuaçu in substrates of flooded areas (Fernandes & Mendonça 2004). In the present study, the species was found only in “Restinga” de Jurubatiba, confirming once again its preference for littoral environments.
