Remarks. Lupaeus waldumirus Wurlitzer & Monjarás-Barrera sp. nov. shows a dark orange color ( Fig. 8B View FIGURE 8 ).

Diagnosis. The new species resembles Lupaeus damavandiani Paktinat-Saeij & Castro, 2016 , for its dorsal morphometry, ventral striae, arrangement of genital setae, and chaetotaxy of coxae III–IV, trochanters I–IV, basifemora I–IV, telofemora I–IV, genua III, tibiae II, III and IV. The different morphological characters are shown in Table 2 View TABLE 2 .

Etymology. The epithet is in honor of the grandfather of the first author, Mr. Waldomiro Moraes Borges, a conservationist who always cherished agroecology and nature.

Type material. Holotype: female collected from tropical white morning-glory, Ipomoea alba L. in Lajeado , Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil, 29º26’13 ‘’S, 51º57’43’’W, 34 m above sea level, collector: Wesley Borges Wurlitzer and date: 14/I/2019 . The seven paratypes female will be deposited at the Museu de Ciências Naturais ( MCN) of the Universidade do Vale do Taquari-Univates, Lajeado, Rio Grande do Sul, Brasil

. Holotype will be deposited at Acarology and Entomology Department, Escola Superior de Agricultura “Luiz de Queiroz”, Universidade de São Paulo ( ESALQ / USP), Piracicaba ( SP), Brazil .
