( Fig. 7 ) Type material . Holotype : Male, slide mounted in Euparal, Brazil , Roraima , Cauamé river, 09°58’29”S , 67°48’36”W , 153 m a.s.l., 03.ii.2007 , leg. L. Fusari ( I1-05 , LEIA-UFSCar). Derivation nominis . The name cauame refers to type locality, Cauamé river. The name is treated as a noun in apposition. Diagnostic characters . Adult male of Riethia cauame sp. n. differs from other species of the genus by the combination of the following characters. Adult male: hypopygium without anal point, superior volsella hooklike with internal margin 7–8 simple setae. Median volsella present. Inferior volsella with 9 internal marginal long and large simple setae and 9 flattened scales: 5 apically pectinate and 4 distal ones non-pectinate Transverse sternapodeme without oral projections.
