Sampaioleg.; new record; MZSP 67528.    Measurements See Table 2.    Distribution The distribution of this species is here extended from a single locality in the municipality of Benevides to include the Extractive Reserve in Breves Municipality (Resex Mapuá), a national park in Santarém Municipality (FLONA Tapajós), and the Alter do Chão District, all in the state of Pará, up to 765 kmSW of the typelocality.    Natural history All samples from the new localities were female and some small females were carrying egg sacs with fewer eggs than adults, similar to what has been observed with the parthenogenetic  Sarax ioanniticus( Kritscher, 1959) comb. nov.( Weygoldt 2008), suggesting that  C. bonaldoimay also be parthenogenetic.    Remarks Despite the large distances between populations (Benevides, Breves and Santarém), no morphological differences were found among the specimens. Specimens from the three new localities are similar in the number of pseudo-articles (two) in the basitibia of leg IV, the number of cheliceral teeth (four, excepting the specimen from Satarém [MZSP 67526], with five), the position of the trichobothria on the distitibia of leg IV, the number of spines on the pedipalp, and the shape of the female genitalia. However, the specimens from Breves, Santarém and Alter do Chão are smaller and paler, which may be the due to the stage of development of the specimens (subadults). See Giupponi & Miranda(2016)for further comparison of this species with others in the genus. 3383566009 2002-01-18 MPEG D. R. S. Souza & A. C.
