Other specimens identified as belonging to this species were: 6 protonymphs, 7 deutonymphs, 25 adult females and 11 adult males from the same substrate and locality as the holotype and collected on IV/VII/ X- 2000, and II/IV/VII/ X-2001. One protonymph, 3 deutonymphs, 9 adult females and 16 adult males were taken from forest litter at Pariquera-Açu, State of São Paulo, Brazil, I/ X-2000 and X-2001.
Etymology. The species name cananeiae is the genitive of Cananéia, the type locality of the new species.
Remarks. Ologamasus foliatus Karg, 1976 is similar to O. cananeiae sp. n., but differs in having seta Zv4 (seta ISv of Lee, 1970) and in lacking setae s1 and s2. In addition, O. foliatus has setae j1, j2 and postanal setiform and smooth, and tectum with 2 pairs of lateral pointed prongs in addition to the central prong. Males of O. foliatus differ in having the distal end of the spermatodactyl blunt rather than pointed.
The following dichotomous key separates females of currently known Ologamasus species.
