Remarks.
These specimens are from Chapada Diamantina,
Bahia
State, and provide the first record of the species since its original description (
type
locality Serra do Cipó,
Minas Gerais
State). There is a connection from
Bahia
to
Minas Gerais
States through Serra do Espinhaço, with Precambrian rock mountains extending about
1,200 km
from
Bahia
State (northern limit) to
Minas Gerais
State (southern limit). These specimens from
Bahia
State have preanal appendages rounder and more setose, without filipods, and parapods each with its apical half thicker than its basal half in lateral and ventral views (
Figs. 8A 8D
). Also, each inferior appendage has a first article that is slender and sinuous basally in ventral view (
Fig. 8B
). The phallic apparatus has a phallotheca with “beaks” apically blunt in lateral view (
Fig. 8A
), in dorsal view (
Fig. 8E
) the phallotheca is slender basally, broader at the middle, and with a pair of posterodorsal processes each with two apical points.
