Daidalotarsonemus bauchani Rezende et al., 2015b ) 461.

Diagnosis. Female: Gnathosoma : Palpal length about 1/4 length of gnathosoma. Dorsum: Reticulate ornamentation on prodorsum and tergite C. Tergite C with four rows of somewhat longitudinally fused cells, grouped between setae c1, and same number of cells per row (four). Tergite D without ornamentation. Setae v1, sc2, c2 and h unmodified in shape. Setae v1 as long as sc2 (~ 25). Setae c2 around twice longer than h (~ 17 and ~ 8, respectively). Setae c1, d, e and f leaf-shaped. Setae c1 linear-lanceolate in shape, as long as c2 (~ 15) and inserted near midlength of tergite C. Setae d and f identical in length (~ 30) and shape (ensiform with two lateral veins). Setae e linear-lanceolate in shape, shorter than d and f, but longer than h (~ 13 and ~ 9, respectively). Setae f ~22 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 distinctly robust and serrate. Male & larva: unknown.

Type material deposition: holotype ♀ and two paratypes ♀ deposited at NMCR; two paratypes ♀ at USNM .

Locality: 10°26′N 84°1′W, La Selva Biological Station , Heredia Province, Costa Rica ( Rezende et al. 2015b) .
