ODONTOPELTIS ALEIJADINHO SP. NOV. FIGURES 80–82, 87 Type material: Male holotype from Parque Estadual do Rio Doce, Timóteo (19°34′58′′S, 38°38′W), Minas Gerais, Brazil, 17−21.xi.2008, I. S. Oliveira coll., deposited in IBSP, catalog number 1542. Paratype: One male (IBSP 2853) and one female (IBSP 3630) from the same locality. Etymology: The species epithet is a noun in apposition, a patronym in honour of Antônio Francisco Lisboa, nickname Aleijadinho, one of the most important artists of the Baroque, and who came from Minas Gerais. Diagnosis: Males of Odontopeltis aleijadinho differ from other species of the genus by the rounded tip of process B. In both Odontopeltis aleijadinho and Odontopeltis anchisteus process A possesses a fold: in Odontopeltis anchisteus this fold is positioned api- cally, whereas in Odontopeltis aleijadinho the fold is at the base (Figs 80, 82). Odontopeltis tiradentes and Odontopeltis aleijadinho both possess a subtriangular process A with small apical undulations. Description: Male (holotype, IBSP 1542): Head and body black. Paranota tip and telson yellow. Legs black. Paranotal teeth formula: 0-0-0-0-2-2-3-3-3-3-5-3-3-3-4- 3-3-1-1. Total length 86. Collum 4 long, 13 wide. Antenna: 2.3, 2.0, 2.0, 2.0, 2.5. Genital opening 1.9 long, 3.3 wide. Telson 1.8. Coxae of gonopods with a spiniform process. Prefemoral region 3 × longer than femoral region. Macrobristles on an inclined line with the distance between them less than half the length of the bristle itself. Process A without apical process, only with small ripples (ventral view, Fig. 81). Median projection of the solenomere well developed, but not surpassing tip of solenomere (Fig. 81). Female (paratype, IBSP 3630): Coloration as in male. Paranotal teeth formula: 0-0-0-0-2-2-3-2-3-3-2- 3-3-2-3-3-2-1-1. Total length 87. Collum 5 long, 12 wide. Antenna: 2.2, 2.0, 2.0, 1.9, 1.9. Telson 1.8. Distribution: Know only from the type locality.
