( Figs. 95–97 )

Daidalotarsonemus savanicus Rezende et al., 2015c: 441 ; Sousa et al., 2018: 70.

Diagnosis. Female: Gnathosoma : Palpal length about 1/4 length of gnathosoma. Dorsum: Reticulate ornamentation present on prodorsum, tergites C and D. Tergite C with four transverse rows of well-defined cells medially grouped between setae c1. Tergite D with cells distributed in three transverse rows, between setae d, and a diamond-shaped cell. Setae v1, sc2, c1, c2 and h unmodified in shape. Setae v1 shorter than sc2 (~ 27 and ~ 38, respectively). Setae c1 as long as c2 (~ 18). Setae c1 inserted near midlength of tergite C. Setae h slightly longer than c1 and c2 (~ 23). Setae d, e and f leaf-shaped. Setae d and f spatulate in shape (f slimmer), identical width (~ 6), but different in length (~ 34 and ~ 39, respectively). Setae e unique in shape (asymmetrical), shorter than d and f, but longer than h (~ 24). Setae f ~14 distant from each other, on rounded tubercles. Venter: Tegula truncate, slightly arched posteriorly. All apodemes distinct. Apodemes 2 not fused to prosternal apodeme. Poststernal apodeme bifurcated anteriorly. Legs: sensory cluster of tibiotarsus I complete. Seta tc” of tarsus II robust and serrate. Male & larva: unknown.

Type material deposition: holotype ♀ and five paratypes ♀ deposited at DZSJRP ; three paratypes ♀ at ESALQ / USP ; three paratypes ♀ at USNM .
