Pseudonannolene callipyge – Brölemann 1909: 57. — Jeekel 2004: 88.

Diagnosis

Males of P. callipyge can be easily distinguished from all congeners by having glabrous projections located proximally on the stipes of the gnathochilarium ( Fig. 168D ).

Etymology

Named after the Greek nouns ‘ kállos ’ = ‘beauty’, and ‘ pug ḗ ’ = in reference to the pygidium, telson. Unspecified in the original description.

Descriptive notes

MEASUREMENTS. 58–60 body rings (1–2 apodous + telson). Males: body length 58–67 mm; maximum midbody diameter 3.8–5 mm. Females: body length 70.5–75 mm; maximum midbody diameter 5–5.2 mm.

COLOR. Body color brownish yellow; head, collum, and antennae darker; prozonites and metazonites anteriorly darker, with a posterior reddish band; legs lighter brown.

HEAD. Antennae long ( Fig. 58D ), just reaching back to end of ring 6 when extended dorsally; antennomeres elongated; relative antennomere lengths 1<2≈3>4=5=6>7. Mandibular cardo with ventral margin narrow. Stipes of gnathochilarium with glabrous basal projections ( Fig. 168D ). Ommatidial cluster well-developed, elliptical; ca 40 ommatidia in 5 rows.

BODY RINGS. Collum with lateral lobes rounded, with ca 6 deep striae, slightly curved ectad ( Fig. 58A ). Very faintly constricted between prozonite and metazonite; prozonites smooth; metazonites laterally with transverse striae below ozopore. Anterior sterna in midbody rings subrectangular, without transverse striae ( Fig. 168D ).

FIRST LEG-PAIR OF MALES. Coxae (cx) short (less than half of remaining podomere lengths), subtriangular, with the base arched, densely setose ( Figs 59A , 60D ); prefemoral process (prf) as wide as half of prefemur, subcylindrical, densely setose up to its median region ( Fig. 59B ); remaining podomeres with setae along the mesal region.

SECOND LEG-PAIR OF MALES. Coxa (cx) large and rounded; penis (pn) located at proximal region, rounded, not extended basally ( Fig. 59C ); prefemur compressed dorsoventrally; remaining podomeres setose.

GONOPODS. Gonocoxa (gcx) elongated, almost twice as long as telopodite, with the base arched; flattened antero-posteriorly ( Fig. 59D–F ); with rows of papillae mesally. Seminal groove (sg) curved; arising medially on mesal cavity and terminating apically on the seminal apophysis (sa). Shoulder (sh) rounded. Telopodite (tp) almost as wide as gcx ( Fig. 59D ); solenomere (sl) with apicomesal process (amp) rounded; ectal process (ep) short, subtriangular, separating from amp by notch; sa located at mesal portion, slightly visible apically. Internal branch (ib) subtriangular, narrow, surrounding the base of tp as a shield; with torsion of 180° in the distal portion; ib with long setae along its entire margin slightly exceeding apically seminal region of sl ( Fig. 59D–F ).

VULVAE. As typical for the genus. Bursa subtriangular, glabrous ( Fig. 177G ); internal valve subtriangular, with mesal region rounded; operculum narrow; external valve wide, subtriangular.

Distribution

Known from the Atlantic Forest in the southern and northeastern Paraná State, Brazil ( Fig. 181 ); some records from limestone caves in the Açungui Limestone Group.
