Sampaio leg. ( DZRJ ). 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.
