Atopsyche (Atopsaura) galharada Santos & Holzenthal 2012

Atopsyche (Atopsaura) galharada Santos & Holzenthal 2012 , 71 (Type locality: Brazil, São Paulo, Campos do Jordão, Parque Estadual de Campos do Jordão, Rio Galharada , 22º41.662’S, 45º27.783’W, el. 1530 m; holotype depository: MZSP; male).

Diagnosis. This species belongs to the Atopsyche (Atopsaura) longipennis Group. It resembles A. ayahuaca Schmid 1989 and A. plancki Marlier 1964 in the absence of filipods and in the simple phallotheca ( Santos & Holzenthal 2012). Parapods each have two carinae bearing tooth-like processes and the apicomesal process of the first article of each inferior appendage is very long. Moreover, A. galharada has a broad lateral sclerotized projection on each side of the proctiger and the phallotheca has two long processes (“beaks” of Schmid 1989) broadest subapicolaterally, in dorsal view ( Santos & Holzenthal 2012).

Description. See Santos & Holzenthal (2012).
