Dens 8 times longer than mucro, dorsally with 2 rows of feathered scales, 6 external and 3 internal, and 4 ciliated between the two rows; proximal outer part of dens with 3 ciliated chaetae and 3 smooth apical chaetae on ventral side, 2 at the base of external scale and one at the base of internal scale. Mucro vestigial (9,5µm), bidentate apically, with one small subapical tooth (aAI). Etymology. The species is named after the reduced size of mucro. Distribution. The species was recorded from Amazon Rainforest iron caves at Curionópolis (Serra Leste) and Parauapebas, Pará State, northern Brazil . Ecology. Collected in four iron caves in Serra Leste and five iron caves in Parauapebas. These caves are inserted in the Amazon forest, mostly small caves whose conditions vary according to the surface weather. The altitude is between 500– 670m . The climate according to Köppen’s system is Af: Equatorial rainforest, fully humid ( Köppen 1936 , Kottek et al . 2006 ). Remarks. C. mucrominimus sp. nov. differs from Brazilian tridenticulati , Cyphoderus arlei in the reduced size of mucro which is less than 1/5 the length of the dens. They also differ in the shape of the chaetae r in labial triangle, which is a normal seta in the new species and is reduced in C. arlei , the TO with 9 chaeta (versus 12 in C. arlei ), dens with 6 external and 3 internal feathered scales (versus 6~7 external and 5~7 internal feathered scales in C. arlei ). The new species resembles somehow those of the genus Pseudocyphoderus Imms, 1912 , mainly in the shape and size of the mucro. Nevertheless, the new species clearly belongs to the genus Cyphoderus by presenting fully developed mouth parts, while the species of Pseudocyphoderus are known to present a reduction of the pars incisiva on the mandible and a rather hypognath position ( Delamare-Debouteville 1948 ). Mari-Mutt (1977) described a species ( P. mellitophilous Mari-Mutt 1977 ) with well-developed mouth parts and lacking mucro as in C. mucrominimus sp. nov. , nevertheless, P. mellitophilous presents a set of morphological features, adaptive modifications and a large body size, which clearly differs from the new species, as examples body length over 3 mm , dorsoventrally flattened body, “Lepismiform” aspect, large trochanters, modified metathoracic legs and large tenent hairs. Furthermore, the ventral tube chaetotaxy strikingly differs from that of Cyphoderus ( Yoshii 1987 ) .
