- Typhlodromalus feresisimilis n. sp. (Figures 26–30) Diagnosis. Females with dorsal shield covered mainly by roundish ornamentation, with a few anterolateral striae and a smooth band immediately anteriad of Z 4; most dorsal setae lanceolate, except for J 5, S 5 and R 1, smooth and setiform and Z 5, stout and pointed; calyx of spermatheca long and tubular. Specimens examined. Holotype female and a paratype female from Cordia curassavica (Jacq.) Roem. & Schult., Ilha Comprida, State of São Paulo, 21 July 2001, G.

Setae smooth and lanceolate, except for J 5, S 5 and R 1, smooth and setiform, and Z 5, stout and pointed. Venter. Sternal shield lightly sclerotised, smooth; posterior margin indistinct; with three pairs of setae and two pairs of lyrifissures; distances between St 1 - St 3 66 (64–70), St 2 - St 2 64 (63–65). Genital shield smooth; distance between St 5 - St 5 77 (75–80). Ventrianal shield vase-shaped, smooth, 103 (98–110) long, 69 (66–70) wide at level of ZV 2, 61 (60–62) wide at anus level, with three pairs of pre-anal setae (JV 1, JV 2 and ZV 2); JV 4, JV 5, ZV 1 and ZV 3 on unsclerotised cuticle and a pair of elliptical pre-anal pores posteromesad of JV 2. Ventral setae smooth and pointed. Two pairs of metapodal plates present. Peritreme extending almost to level of j 1. Chelicera. Movable cheliceral digit 27 long, with three teeth; fixed cheliceral digit 31 long, with five teeth and a pilus dentilis. Spermatheca. Calyx tubular, 20 (20–21) long; atrium short. Leg macrosetae. Sge I 18 (15–19), Sge II 15 (14–15), Sge III 18 (17–20), Sti III 16 (15–17), Sge IV 37 (36–38), Sti IV 21 (19–22), St IV 74 (70–79), all blunt, except for Sge IV, with a tiny knob. Chaetotaxy: genu II: 1–2 / 1, 2 / 0– 1; genu III: 1–2 / 1, 2 / 0–1. Male. Unknown. Etymology. The name feresisimilis is a compound of feresi (of Typhlodromalus feresi Lofego, Moraes & McMurtry, 2000) and similis (Latin for similar), referring to the similarity between this new species and T. feresi. Remarks. Typhlodromalus feresisimilis n. sp. is similar to T. feresi. The latter differs from this new species by having shorter j 3, Z 4, Z 5, Sge I, Sge IV, St IV and spermathecal calyx (25–26, 39 – 40, 56–57, 7, 23–25, 30 and 28– 32 respectively). In addition, T. feresi has most dorsal setae knob-tipped.
