Diagnosis. Adult males of H. jurutiensis sp. nov. differ from other Haematotropis species by the following combination of characters: gonopod with strongly narrow acropodital distal region; short and pointed LP1, projected towards the lateral region of acropodite (Fig. 31B, D); solenomere short, slightly acuminated apex, projected towards the ventral region of the body (Fig. 31A, C).

Description.

Size and form (holotype ♂). Body length = 58 and wide = 10 mm. TL/GW = 5.8.

Coloration (long preserved in 70% ethanol) Head, prozonite, metazonite, legs and telson dark brown, sides of metazonite and paranota reddish, antennomeres orange (Fig. 30A–D).

Head. Dorsal surface smooth and shiny, without microgranulations.

Trunk. Collum 3.5 mm long, 9.1 mm wide; dorsal surface of all rings smooth and shiny, without microgranulations; posterolateral margins strongly concave, sickle-shaped (Fig. 30A, B). Rings 2–19: prozonite and metazonite smooth and shiny, without microgranulation in dorsal region of all rings. Anterolateral teeth on paranota of rings 2–4 (Fig. 2G). Lateral margins of ring 2 projected posteriad (Fig. 30A, B). Gonopodal aperture elliptical, approximately 2.4 mm wide and 0.8 mm long at midpoints. Telson (Fig. 30D) smooth and shiny, without microgranulations.

Legs. Smooth and shiny, without microgranulations.

Gonopods. Left gonopod structure as follows: coxa with lateral swelling at midlength (Fig. 31A, C); acropodite elongated, about four times as long as prefemur; median region expanded, cup-shaped in ventral view, with a concavity and cavity (Fig. 31D); distal region of acropodite lightly sinuous, not bifurcate, curved ventrally at a 70° angle (Fig. 31A, C); VP1 emarginated on posterior region and not very evident, not exceeding the width of ventral region of acropodite, in lateral view (Fig. 31A, C); VP2 absent; LP1 short and tapered, with the acuminated apex towards the lateral of acropodite (Fig. 31B, D), LP2, LP3 and DP absent (Fig. 31A–D). Opening of solenomere not located at distal end of acropodite (Fig. 31A, C). Solenomere short, slightly acuminated apex, projected towards the lateral region of acropodite (Fig. 31A, C).

Remarks. Similar to H. tysoni sp. nov. (Fig. 42A–D) and H. poranga sp. nov. (Fig. 40A–D) by the posterolateral margins strongly concave and tegument dark brown. H. jurutiensis sp. nov. differs mainly by LP1 being short with an acuminated apex, almost vestigial (Fig. 31B, D). LP1 is hemispheric in H. poranga sp. nov. (Fig. 41A–D), and H. tysoni sp. nov. has LP1 long and spatulated (Fig. 43A–D).

Distribution. Brazil: Pará (Fig. 52).

Etymology. The specific epithet refers to the type locality Juruti, Pará State, Brazil.
