( Figs. 70–72 )

Daidalotarsonemus lini Rezende et al., 2015b: 473 ; Sousa et al., 2018: 70.

Diagnosis. Female: Gnathosoma : Palpal length about 1/4 length of gnathosoma. Dorsum: Reticulate ornamentation on prodorsum and tergite C. Tergite C with four transverse rows of well-defined cells, grouped between setae c1, and same number of cells per row (four) except for the last (seven). Tergite D scarcely ornamented. Setae v1, sc2, c2 and h unmodified in shape. Setae v1 as long as sc2 (~ 30). Setae c2 longer than h (~ 23 and ~ 14, respectively). Setae c1, d, e and f leaf-shaped. Setae c1 linear-lanceolate in shape, longer than c2 (~ 27) and inserted near midlength of tergite C. Setae d and f identical in length (~ 30) and shape (spatulate with two lateral veins). Setae e ensiform in shape, shorter than d, f and h (~ 10). Setae f ~15 distant from each other, on tubercles. Venter: Tegula truncate, slightly arched posteriorly. Apodemes distinct, except for prosternal apodeme from level of apodemes 2 to sejugal apodeme. Apodemes 2 not fused to prosternal apodeme. Poststernal apodeme bifurcated anteriorly. Legs: sensory cluster of tibiotarsus I complete. Seta tc” of tarsus II serrate but not robust. Male & larva: unknown.

Type material deposition: holotype ♀ and eight paratypes ♀ deposited at NMCR; four paratypes ♀ at USNM ; two paratypes ♀ at CALFAUCR; one paratype ♀ at CNC ; one paratype ♀ at DZSJRP .

Locality: 10°26′N 84°1′W, La Selva Biological Station , Heredia Province, Costa Rica ( Rezende et al. 2015b — type series locality) ; 14°47′47”S 39°10′15”W, Ilhéus , State of Bahia, Brazil ( Sousa et al. 2018) .
