Specimens are deposited in the following collections (abbreviation and curator in parentheses): Instituto Butantan, São Paulo (IBSP , A.D. Brescovit) and Museu Paraense Emílio Goeldi, Belém (MPEG , A.B. Bonaldo).
Morphological terms follow Brescovit et al. (2018) (link), except for macrosetae of endites which follow Baert (2014) . Descriptions and measurements were performed using a Leica 165C stereomicroscope, while photographs were taken with a Leica DFC 500 digital camera mounted on a Leica MZ16A stereomicroscope. Focal range images were made using Leica Application Suite software, version 2.5.0. Total and femur lengths were measured in lateral view without detaching any part from the specimen. All measurements are in millimeters. Female genitalia were excised with a sharp needle and photographed mounted on Hoyer´s microscope slides. For scanning electron microscopy (SEM ), body parts were dehydrated in a series of graded ethanol washes (80% to 100%), critical point dried, mounted on metal stubs using adhesive copper tape and nail polish for fixation and covered with gold. SEM images were taken with FEI Quanta 250 and LEO 1450VP scanning electron microscopes, at Laboratório de Biologia Celular of Instituto Butantan, São Paulo and Museu Paraense Emílio Goeldi, Belém, respectively.
