( Figs. 83–88 )

Daidalotarsonemus oliveirai Rezende et al., 2015a: 3 ; Sousa et al., 2018: 70; Di Palma et al., 2021: 2.

Diagnosis. Adults: Gnathosoma : Palpal length about 1/4 length of gnathosoma. Female: Dorsum: Coarse ornamentation on prodorsum. Tergite C with a W-shaped reticulate pattern medially, and longitudinal uninterrupted depressions laterally. Tergite D with coarse sculpturing. Setae v1, sc2, c2 and h unmodified in shape. Setae c1 stiffer. Setae v1 shorter than sc2 (~ 23 and ~ 28, respectively). Setae c1 and c2 similar in length (~ 11), both shorter than h (~ 24). Setae c1 inserted near midlength of tergite C. Setae d, e and f leaf-shaped. Setae d unique in shape (elongate-lanceolate), width (~ 6), and longer than e and f (~ 33). Setae e unique in shape (elliptical), width (~ 15), and length (~ 33). Setae f unique in shape (lanceolate with two lateral veins), width (~ 7), and length (~ 24). Setae f ~10 distant from each other, on cylindrical tubercles. Venter: Tegula truncate, slightly arched posteriorly. All apodemes distinct. Apodemes 2 fused to prosternal apodeme. Poststernal apodeme bifurcated anteriorly. Legs: sensory cluster of tibiotarsus I complete. Seta tc” of tarsus II distinctly serrate and robust. Male: Dorsum: Setae v1 longer than sc2 (~ 30 and ~ 24, respectively), latter same length as v2. Setae sc1 slightly longer than v1 (~ 38). Setae c1 slightly shorter than c2 (~ 21 and ~ 26, respectively) both shorter than d (~ 32). Setae f shorter than all opisthosomal setae (~ 14). Venter: Apodemes 5 distinct at posterior end of poststernal apodeme. Legs: Sensory cluster of tibiotarsus I complete. Solenidion ω of tarsus II length 4. On femorogenu IV, seta v’ G around two times longer than v’ F (~ 17 and ~ 9, respectively). On tibia IV, seta v’ Ti slightly longer than tibia IV itself (~ 28 and ~ 24, respectively). Larva: unknown.

Type material deposition: holotype ♀, allotype ♂, seven paratypes ♀ and two paratypes ♂ deposited at DZSJRP ; two paratypes ♀ at USNM .
