Brachystomella sp.

Material examined: Brazil, Rio de Janeiro, Restinga de Jurubatiba National Park, sand beach and litter of “restinga” areas; Xisto, T. coll. 14/ V /2015: 22 exs; 12/XI/2015: 3 exs; 10/XII/2015: 4 exs; 12/II/2016: 6 exs. Costa do Sol State Park, sand beach and litter of “restinga” areas; Silveira, T.C. coll. 30/IV/2015 : 7 exs; 22/ V /2015: 15 exs; 30/ VI /2015: 5 exs.

Remarks: The preliminary identification of this taxon indicated similarity with stachi group, by sharing the number of eyes, vesicles of the postantennal organ, number of chaetae on dens and morphology of unguis. However, divergences were observed regarding cephalic and thoracic chaetotaxy, indicating that it is a new species. Future sampling in the studied areas will allow the conclusion of its taxonomic study.
