Differential diagnosis.
This new species resembles
Tydeus quadrisetosus
(
Schiess, 1981
)
by having short dorsal setae, not reaching to the base of the setae next behind, and four genital setae.
Tydeus quadrisetosus
differs from the new species by a having furrow at the level of
f1–f2
, setae
sci
much longer, and a more slender idiosoma.
Etymology.
The new species was named for the Rio Pardo Valley where it was collected.
