Alopoglossus indigenorum Ribeiro-Júnior et al., 2021

( Fig. 10C )

Both the analyses of molecular and morphological (meristic) variation of a recently collected specimen of the Alopoglossus angulatus (Linnaeus,1758) species complex from the RBJ showed that it represented an undescribed taxon. This species was then recently described as A. indigenorum , containing the specimen from the RBJ as part of its type series ( Ribeiro-Júnior et al., 2021). The species is distributed in the extreme western Brazilian Amazonia, at south of the Amazon River.
