Collophore anterior side with 3 subapical mac of equal length, and 8 proximal smooth mic; posterior side with 1 apical and 1 subapical smooth chaetae; lateral flap formula 4(s), 6(m), 5(i) smooth chaetae, 2 inferior larger ( Figures 18 A-B). Manubrial plate with 2 chaetae ( Figure 19C). Mucro with 4 teeth (d1, ap, v1-2) ( Figure 19G).

Etymology

The name “maculipenis”, from Latin, refers to the human peniform dorsal spot on abdomen IV of this new species.

Remarks

Salina maculipenis  Edit sp.n. resembles S. tocantinensis  Edit sp.n. in general morphology, and dorsal chaetotaxy of Th II–III with at least 3 central mac, Abd I with 1 or more central mac, and Abd IV with 8 central mac. However, S. maculipenis  Edit sp.n. differs from S. tocantinensis  Edit sp.n. by dorsal chaetotaxy of Abd III with 3 lateral mac (6 in S. tocantinensis  Edit sp.n.) and Abd IV with 4 mac in ‘Fe’ series (2 in S. tocantinensis  Edit sp.n.). Others characteristics that differs S. maculipenis  Edit sp.n. from S. tocantinensis  Edit sp.n. are Ant I with 5 mac (4 in S. tocantinensis  Edit sp.n.), cephalic groove with 2 serrated mic (1 in S. tocantinensis  Edit sp.n.), manubrial plate with 3 chaetae (2 in S. tocantinensis  Edit sp.n.), and collophore with 11 anterior chaetae (3 mac subequal), while in S. tocantinensis  Edit sp.n. has 7 anterior chaetae (1 mac smaller). The color pattern of S. maculipenis  Edit sp.n. also differs by Th II–Abd III posteriorly with one transverse band and Abd IV with a penis-shaped spot, while in S. tocantinensis  Edit sp.n. has blue spots on body and legs.
