Etymology : The epithet specific of the new species is an allusion to the locality where the material was collected, Serra do Tepequém. Distribution . BRAZIL : Roraima. Comments . Camelobaetidius tepequensis sp. nov. differs from others species of the genus by the presence of many, short, blunt setae on anterior surface of femur ( Fig. 54 ), tibia rotated at apex ( Fig. 54 ), and elongate abdomen ( Fig. 6 ). These characters, until now, are not found in any other species of Camelobaetidius . Material examined .
