Remarks:
Magalhães and Bailey-Brock (2012)
mentioned that
N.
(
C.
)
anoculatus
presents similarities with
N. tenuis
Moore, 1909
, particularly on the anterior region and thoracic segments. Based on the examination of
type
material of
N. anoculatus
(ZMH-P15102) and
N. tenuis
(CAS-019718), we realized that there are differences between both species as described below.
Notomastus anoculatus
has a prostomium with palpode, a tessellated epithelium from the first to the sixth chaetiger, abdominal notopodia very close to each other, and neuropodial lobes expanded to the dorsal part.
Notomastus tenuis
has a prostomium without palpode, the epithelium is smooth along the body, abdominal notopodia are widely separated and located dorso-laterally, and without neuropodial lobes. Therefore, we consider the validity of
N. anoculatus
.
