). Tegmentum strongly sculptured with large, raised coalesced pustules. Head valve (Figure 5A), semi-circular, with large lobulose pustules, arranged in 8-10 radiating, bifurcated rows, uplifted notch. Tail valve (Figure 5B), wider than long; mucro postmedian, not elevated and pointed; antemucronal area with 17-19 longitudinal, pustulose ribs, the pustules on the jugal area are less coalesced and arranged longitudinally; postmucronal area with 8-9 coarsely pustulose radial ribs. Intermediate valves (Figure 5C), semi-rectangular shaped, posterior margin almost straight; lateral areas heavily elevated with 2-3 coarsely pustulose bifurcate ribs; the rib adjacent to central area usually raised more than those near the posterior margin; central areas narrower than combined lateral areas, wider near its center; pleural areas with 7-8 longitudinal ribs, which can develop sub-riblets; 5-7 pustulose ribs in jugal areas, which fade toward the apex.

Girdle colored in alternating irregular bands of green, cream and yellow; covered with small and medium strong ribbed scales, and hyaline long needles (Figure 5F), the scales are somewhat wider than longer, its apical end develop a flattened pit (Figure 5G), and between the scales occur single curve spicules, scattered with no apparent order. Radula (Figure 5H) with major lateral tooth tridentate, with broad and wide cusps; central tooth spatulate in shape, its distal end bending outwards and longer than minor lateral teeth.

PNAA specimens show ribs that tend to merge and bifurcate, and the lateral areas seem to develop three pustulose ribs, which became two, after both ribs next to diagonal ridge merged into one. On the contrary, Florida Keys specimens show more rounded pustules, the ribs remain separate or well-defined, and the lateral areas display two separated ribs. The number of ribs on the pleural areas (8 ribs), antemucronal area (18 ribs) and postmucronal areas of tail valve (8 ribs), are similar in both species. Such differences between Florida Keys and PNAA can be explained by the

Examination of the lectotype (NHMUK 1977041/2) from Rio de Janeiro (16.2 mm) (Figure 14C), showed rounded pustules aligned in ribs, 12 on head valve, 3-4 on lateral areas, and 15 ribs on postmucronal area of tail valve. When comparing with the PNAA specimen (15.2 mm), the lectotype has no fusion between pustules and it has a higher number of ribs on the head valve, lateral and postmucronal areas. The pustule morphology and number of ribs, of the lectotype is similar to specimens that
