Type locality and habitat.

Brazil, Minas Gerais State, Congonhas Town - leaves of macaúba palm, Acrocomia aculeata ( Arecaceae ), from a patch of Atlantic Forest.

Comparative material.

Brazil: 2 ♀♀ (ESALQ: T-MZLQ 3305 C=7735, holotype; ESALQ: T-MZLQ 3306 C=7735, paratype) - 11. 8. 2014, Congonhas - MS, Ex: Acrocomia aculeata ( macaúba), leg. R. V. Veloso.

Remarks.

The number of the dorsal setae is different in both adult stages: 25 pairs in females, and 27 pairs in males ( Narita and Moraes 2016). This fact is unusual in Ameroseiidae and it should be carefully checked again in newly collected specimens.
