- Typhlodromalus longisetatus Moraes, Zannou & Oliveira, sp. nov. (Fig. 8) DIAGNOSIS — This new species resembles none of the Typhlodromalus species reported in Chant & McMurtry (2005 a), because of the subequal lengths of its dorsal shield setae (except J 5), most of which are longer than distances between their bases and the bases of the setae immediately behind. FEMALE — (1 specimen measured). Dorsum — Dorsal shield sculptured, with roundish elements between j 5 and J 2, behind s 4 and behind Z 1 and with some striae mostly along anterolateral margins, without indentation near S 5 /Z 5; 304 long and 208 wide. Idiosomal setal pattern 10 A: 8 B/JV 3: ZV, a characteristic which distinguishes the athiasae species group of Chant & McMurtry (2005 a). Setae j 1 38, j 3 48, j 4 29, j 5 32, j 6 51, J 2 50, J 5 8, z 2 32, z 4 48, z 5 26, Z 1 43, Z 4 64, Z 5 78, s 4 62, S 2 66, S 4 53, r 3 27, R 1 29. Setae serrate, except J 5, r 3 and R 1 which are smooth. S 5 absent. Peritreme — Extending anterior to base of j 1. Venter — Distances between St 1 –St 3 61, St 2 –St 2 66, St 5 –St 5 77. Ventrianal shield 96 long, 61 wide at level of Zv 2 and 62 wide at level of anus, with a pair of elliptical pores slightly posterior to Jv 2. Two pairs of metapodal shields; caudoventral setae smooth and sharptipped, except Jv 4 and Jv 5 which are serrate. Chelicera — Movable digit 32 long, with 4 teeth; fixed digit 29 long, with 8 teeth and a distinguishable pilus dentilis. Spermatheca — Calyx slender, flaring slightly distally, 21 long; atrium distinct and slender. Legs — Macrosetae blunt on tibiae III and IV and knobbed on genua I to IV and tarsus IV; Sge I 22 Sge II 27, Sge III 34, Sti III 24, Sge IV 53, Sti IV 32, St IV 66. Chaetotaxy of genu III: 12 / 1,2 / 01. MALE — Unknown. LOCALITY AND TYPE MATERIAL — Holotype female from unknown plant, 400 km N Adomi bridge, Atimpoku, Ghana, 13 XI 1989, J.S. Yaninek, deposited at ESALQ USP. ETYMOLOGY — The epithet longisetatus refers to the relatively long dorsocentral setae of the idiosoma of this new species. REMARKS — Differently from most of the species in this genus, as reported by Chant & McMurtry (2005 a), the margin of the dorsal shield of T. longisetatus sp. nov. does not have an indentation near S 5 /Z 5; and the dorsocentral setae of this species are relatively long. Similarly to this new species, T. athiasae, Typhlodromalus sinespinosus Moraes, Zannou & Oliveira, sp. nov., Typhlodromalus spinosus (Meyer & Rodrigues) and Typhlodromalus tenuicalyx Moraes, Zannou & Oliveira, sp. nov. do not have S 5; however, all of those species have dorsal shield setae quite variable in length. In addition, T. sinespinosus and T. spinosus have calyx of spermatheca sacculiform.
