Diagnosis.
Campsurus indivisus
can be distinguished from other species of
Campsurus
, in the adult stage, by: 1) posterior margin of male abdominal sternum IX strongly concave with posterolateral round corners slightly to markedly protruding (
Fig. 123
) and with short medial furrow; 2) pedestals bases distinctly separated in the middle (
Fig. 123
), pedestals with long and apically rounded parastylus (p in
Fig. 124
), inner corner slightly projected (ic in
Fig. 124
); 3) penes base large, apically membranous and amorphous with small apicodorsal extension; main lobe of penes finger-like and slightly curved ventromedially (ml in
Fig. 125
), secondary lobe of penes tubular and short (sl in
Fig. 125
); 4) small to medium size (length of male fore wings
7–10 mm
); 5) female sockets as in
Fig. 129
; 6) egg without polar cap, with amorphous structure on convex side. In the nymph: 1) anterolateral blunt tubercle at base of antenna with apex curved upwards, pedicel and scape with long strong setae (
Fig. 130
); 2) pre-ocular group of setae on gena formed by 6–8 setae in oblique row, inner margin of eye with 3 setae (
Fig. 130
); 3) mandibular tusks (
Figs. 131–133
) somewhat flattened, with apex slightly curved inward, inner margin with 13–15 small blunt tubercles, outer margin with
ca.
15 strong spine-like setae (mostly near the base), dorsomedial surface bare; 4) fore femur (
Figs. 134–135
) slender (ratio L/W = 2.6), fore tibiae with subparallel margins; 5) all tarsal claws with minute denticles increasing in size distally, distributed in marginal row of 3 denticles on fore claw but 14–16 denticles in middle and hind claws.
Morphological variability. Male imagos from Arquipélago de Anavilhanas (Manaus) show some notable variations. The head is darker on the medio-longitudinal band, and stripes emerge from this band. Gray-shading is more pronounced, mostly on the abdomen (all sterna shaded laterally) and the thoracic pleura & sterna (carinae shaded).
Discussion.
We here propose that
C. duplicatus
is a subjective junior synonym of
C. indivisus
, because the illustrations and descriptions given by
Spieth (1943)
coincide with Ulmer’s (1942) characterization of
C. indivisus
. The nymph of
C. indivisus
can be easily differentiated from other species due to the relatively scarce setae and spines on the mandibular tusks; on the outer margin, only
ca.
15 spine-like setae are present, most of them near the base and only 3–4 on the apical half of the tusk.
Campsurus indivisus
is most closely related to
C. inusitatus
sp. nov.
(see discussion under this species). Characters on the egg (no polar cap, amorphous structure on the convex side) and nymph (setation of head and mandibular tusk) are also present in most species nearly related to
C. cuyuniensis
and
C. lucidus
.
