As the tribe is monogeneric and the genus is monospecific, it is difficult to allocate the different characters and character states to the different taxonomic levels. It is expected that other species in this genus and other genera in this tribe will have basically the same body plan, with slight modifications in shape, size and chaetotaxy of segments in various limbs. Etymology The new species is named after the fact that much of the size, shape and chaetotaxy of the segments in the limbs is reduced, especially in the A1.

Description Female LVi ( Fig. 18A, C–D ) with broad anterior calcified inner lamella and narrower posterior calcified inner lamella; weak inner list present anteriorly and ventrally, absent posteriorly. RVi ( Fig. 18B, E–F ) with broad anterior calcified inner lamella and narrower posterior calcified inner lamella; inner list fully absent, posteriorly with an inwardly displaced selvage. Both valves elongated and bean-shaped, with curved ventral margin, evenly rounded dorsal margin and with anterior margin more broadly rounded than posterior one. CpRl ( Fig. 18G ) elongated; with the greatest height situated in front of the middle; LV overlapping RV anteriorly (widely so) and posteriorly. External valve surface smooth and set with isolated setae. CpD ( Fig. 18H ) sub-ovate; with greatest width in the middle, and with LV widely overlapping RV anteriorly and less so posteriorly. CpV ( Fig. 18I ) also sub-ovate; with the greatest width in the middle; LV overlapping RV especially anteriorly, but also ventrally and posteriorly and with a gap between the two valves in the anterior third of the length, immediately followed by a central flap of the LV extending beyond the RV. A1 ( Fig. 19A ) with seven segments. First segment with two long subapical ventral setae; Wouter’s organ not seen. Second segment with one long dorso-lateral seta; Rome organ not seen. Third segment with one ventro-lateral and one dorso-apical setae, the latter slightly shorter than the former one. Fourth to seventh segment greatly reduced in length and chaetotaxy. Fourth segment without setae. Fifth segment with one dorso-apical seta. Sixth segment with three long apical setae. Terminal (seventh) segment with two apical setae, one long and one half that length, and one aesthetasc Ya, about ⅔ of the shorter seta. A2 ( Fig. 19B, D ) with prodopodite, exopodite and three-segmented endopodite. First segment with one long subapical seta reaching well beyond the tip of the terminal segment. Exopodite reduced to a small plate (not illustrated), with only one long seta reaching the tip of the first endopodal segment; two short accompanying setae missing. First endopodal segment with a ventral aesthetasc Y (approximately half the length of the segment), one subapical long seta, about 2.5 ×the length of aesthetasc Y and hirsute in its distal one fifth, and medially with one short (natatory) seta, almost reaching the tip of the second endopodal segment. Second endopodal segment ventrally with three setae t (one short seta, about twice the length of the terminal segment; one long ca twice the length of the shortest setae, and one of ca ¾ the length of the longest seta); medio-dorsally with two setae, one short and one long (ca twice the length of the short one); apically with three claws (G1, G2, G3) and three setae (z1, z2, z3). Terminal segment ( Fig. 19D ) with two claws, one long (GM), one short (Gm) and one aesthetasc y3 with one accompanying seta, the first one slightly shorter than the latter; seta g missing. Fig. 18.

Ecology and distribution Paranadopsis reducta gen. et sp. nov. was found associated with the root system of E. crassipes , located in some lakes of the Upper Paraná River floodplain. The temperature range of these lakes at the time of sampling was 28.3 to 32.6°C, while the pH range was 5.8 to 7. The electrical conductivity range was 14 to 61 µS. cm-1 , and the dissolved oxygen range was 1.5 to 7.6 mg .L- 1 (see Table 4 ). The species can be considered as rare in the area.
