Diagnose.
1) Labrum narrowly rounded anteriorly (
Fig. 28
); 2) segment II of labial palp with a short rounded distomedial projection (
Fig. 33
); 3) thoracic gill absent at the base of coxae; 4) tarsal claws with 13 denticles (
Fig. 34

.
Head (
Fig. 3
). Light brown. Antennae light brown. Lateral branch of epicranial suture straight.
Labrum (
Fig. 28

Dorsally with two short, fine, simple setae over basal area; dorsolateral arc of setae with two long, fine and apically pointed setae on lateral region.
Left mandible (
Fig. 29
). Incisors with seven denticles. Prostheca robust, apically denticulate. Margin between prostheca and mola with three short, spine-like setae; subtriangular process wide; setae at apex of mola absent. Basal half with three fine, simple setae.
Right mandible (
Fig. 30
). Incisors with seven denticles. Prostheca slender, apically denticulate; margin between prostheca and mola with one short spine-like seta; setae at apex of mola present. Basal half without setae.
Hypopharynx (
Fig. 31
). Lingua shorter than superlingua, apex rounded with tuft of short, fine, simple setae. Superlingua rounded, with fine, simple setae on distal margin.
Maxilla (
Fig. 32
). Inner dorsal row of setae with two pectinate denti-setae, apical denti-seta at the same orientation of canines. Medial protuberance of galea with 1 + 3 long, fine simple setae. Maxillary palp 1.4× length of galea-lacinia.
Labium (
Fig. 33
). Glossa shorter than paraglossa; inner margin with seven fine, simple setae; apex with two long, fine setae; outer margin with three long fine setae; ventral surface with three short, fine, simple setae. Paraglossa sub-rectangular; apex with two rows of long, fine setae; ventral surface with four long, fine, simple setae (
Fig. 33
a); dorsal surface with three fine, simple setae near apex. Labial palp segment II with distomedial projection short and rounded; dorsally with a row of two long, fine, spine-like setae. Segment III sub-quadrangular, length 0.8× width, scattered with spine-like setae.
Thorax
(
Fig. 3
). Light brown; mesonotum with posterior region brown. Legs light brown.
Hind
wing pad present. Thoracic gill absent at the base of coxae. Tibia I 0.7× length of femur I, tibia II 0.8× length of femur II, and tibia III 0.7× length of femur III; tarsi I 0.6x in length of femur I, tarsi II 0.6× length of femur II, and tarsi III 0.5× length of femur III.
Forefemur (
Fig. 34
). Length about 3.2× maximum width; dorsally with row of c.a. nine spine-like setae increasing in length distally; ventrally with two short, spine-like setae. Foretibia. With one spine-like setae at apex; patella-tibial suture present, 0.5× length of tibia. Foretarsi. Ventrally with short, fine, simple setae and one short, spine-like setae near apex. Tarsal claws (
Fig. 34
a) with 13 denticles. Mid femur. Length about 2.7× maximum width; dorsally with row of c.a. eight long, spine-like setae.
Hind
femur 2.4× maximum width; dorsally with row of c.a. six long, spine-like setae.

Abdomen
(
Fig. 3
). Light brown; posterolateral corners of segments II and III and segments V and VI washed with brown, middle region of segments III and VI with a brown mark. Terga not creased, smooth, posterior margin of tergum IV with rounded spines (
Fig. 35
). Gills IV (
Fig. 36
) light brown; tracheae pigmented. Paraproct (
Fig. 37
). With two spines near inner margin; surface smooth, without shagreened area; postero-lateral extension smooth. Cerci light brown; outer and inner margin of terminal filament and inner margin of the cerci with tufts of long, simple setae.
Etymology
: The name of the species is in honor of Paulo Vilela Cruz, who collected the nymphs of this species.
Distribution
.
BRAZIL
: Mato Grosso do Sul.
Comments
. The general shape of labial palp (
Fig. 33
), the number of denticles on the tarsal claws (
Fig. 34
a) and the body color pattern (
Fig. 3
) of the new species are similar to those found in
C. matilei
(
Fig. 4
).
Camelobaetidius cruzi
sp. nov.
, however, is distinguished from
C. matilei
by the presence of hind wing pad.
