Remarks
Austrotinodes taquaralis
is very similar to
A. donagrazielae
sp. nov.
,
A. absaberi
sp. nov.
and
A. gusmaoi
sp. nov.
, possibly forming a species group or complex. There are minor differences among then, as mentioned in the species diagnoses of those species. This species can be diagnosed by a set of characteristics, including intermediate appendages tapering to apex, with a single basodorsal and 3 apical spine-like setae; inferior appendages with posterior margin concave with central point; and a phallus with the lateral process bearing a short slender ventral branch with a single apical spine, and a dorsal branch with a row of 2 subapical and 1 apical unenlarged spines.
This species is commonly encountered at Atlantic Forest sites in Itatiaia,
Rio de Janeiro
state, and
Minas Gerais
. It is reported for the first time and from similar sites from
Espirito Santo
state.
