Diagnosis. The new species is distinguished from all congeners by the two following male characteristics: inferior appendage with apical long and shallow concavity forming two acuminated apical projections, in ventral view, and the phallic guide and inferior appendage with apex truncated forming a chela, in lateral view.
The new species presents characteristics of the abdominal segment X and the shape of phallic guide and inferior appendage, in lateral view, that resembles Austrotinodes fortunata Flint and Denning, 1989 ; but it can be differentiated by inferior appendage with apical concavity forming two subtriangular lobes in ventral view ( A. fortunata abdominal segment X with convex apex and two lateral subquadrangular lobes in ventral view), by phallic guide and inferior appendage with the truncated apex in lateral view ( A. fortunata presents phallic guide and inferior appendage with pointed distal region), and by phallic guide X-shaped, in ventral view ( A. fortunata phallic guide inverted Y-shaped).
Description. Adult male. Forewing length 3.49–4.29 mm (n=3). Forewing with R1 forked apically, forks II–V present ( Fig. 4A View Figure 4 ). Hind wing with forks II, III, and V, without discoidal cell ( Fig. 4B View Figure 4 ). Body light brown, dorsum of head brown with pale yellow and light brown setae, postocular warts light brown with light brown setae; thorax light brown; leg segments with brown setae.Forewings covered with fine light brown and pale-yellow setae. Male genitalia. Abdominal segment IX long with subtriangular anterior margin, and posterior margin filiform with truncate apex, in lateral view ( Fig. 5A View Figure 5 ); Anterior margin with deep concavity, ca. 1/5 of the segment length, posterior region with shallow and wide concavity ca. 1/6 of segment length, in dorsal view ( Fig. 5C View Figure 5 ). Abdominal segment X subtriangular with wide base, and narrower and rounded apex, dorsal margin sinuous, in lateral view ( Fig. 5A View Figure 5 ); subtriangular with wide base, and apex narrower and rounded, in dorsal view ( Fig. 5C View Figure 5 ). Preanal appendage covered by setae, longer, filiform with dorsal and ventral margin sinuous,with narrower and rounded apex, in lateral view ( Fig.5A View Figure 5 ); filiform with setose margin,inner face region sinuous and apex rounded, in dorsal view ( Fig. 5C View Figure 5 ). Intermediate appendage filiform narrowing at mid-region, apex wide containing two setose projections, in lateral view ( Fig. 5A View Figure 5 ); basal region subtriangular, mid-region filiform and apex with two setose projections,in dorsal view ( Fig.5C View Figure 5 ). Phallic guide filiform with oval-shaped base, narrowing at mid-region, and apex with C-shaped, in lateral view ( Fig. 5A View Figure 5 ); circa 1.5x length of inferior appendage, X-shaped, anterior margin with two bifid projections,with deep and wide concavity corresponding to 1/2 length,posterior margin with two lobes and shallow, wide concavity, in ventral view ( Fig. 5B View Figure 5 ). Inferior appendage with dorsal margin sinuous and C-shaped apex, ventral margin rounded and without sinuosities, in lateral view ( Fig. 5A View Figure 5 ); ellipsoid, with posterior long and shallow concavity forming two subtriangular lobes with concave median apodeme, in ventral view ( Fig. 5B View Figure 5 ). Phallus with filiform phallobase, two dorsal projections upcurved and setose, two lateral projections as compressed as half of phallobase, filiform and rounded apex, basal lobe sclerotized, filiform, with subequal length of phallobase.

Paratypes. Same as holotype, except 2 males ( UFBA) .
Distribution ( Figs. 20A, B View Figure 20 ). Brazil (BA, Atlantic Forest domain).
Remarks. Austrotinodes zeferina sp. nov. is described based on specimens exclusively collected in the São Bartolomeu Park, a fragment of Atlantic Forest with 75 ha in a metropolitan area of Salvador city. The park constitutes a historical and cultural representation of African matrix religions nowadays, and a historical symbol of resistance against slavery in period colonial (Quilombo do Urubu).The park houses a great biodiversity, sheltering four waterfalls, mangroves and the Rio do Cobre dam. The park comprises a vulnerable area given the environmental and social degradation, in the form of pollution, irregular occupation, and poor public infrastructure (CONDER, 2013). Thus, efforts are needed to better investigate the region, in addition to actions that allow the protection of the area and conservation of the species.
Etymology. This species is named in honor of Zeferina, an Angolan woman who led “Quilombo do Urubu” around 1826, a symbol of African resistance against slavery. The noun in apposition.
