Variation in the male paratypes. The general appearance in size and color of the male from Lagoa Santa (MNRJ) is very similar to that of the holotype, though slightly paler, while that from Serra do Salitre (ABMM) is smaller and distinctly darker with first and second humeral stripes clearly defined and limited by dark ground color ( Figs 1 C–D, 10B). They agree with the holotype except as follows (characters observed in one or both specimens): Head. Labrum with the black distal stripe almost restricted to ventral margin, mesal dark spot longer, occupying 0.66 of its total length (height). Anteclypeus greenish-yellow. Frontoclypeal suture with a distinct brownish stripe widening dorsolaterally over frons. Thorax. Prothorax with dark brown areas better defined. Synthorax with larger and clearly better defined dark areas; mesepisternum at level of junction between first and second pale antehumeral stripes only slightly paler than anterior and posterior dark areas, pale areas not enclosing dark spots, showing a regular gomphid pattern with defined mesepisternal stripes ( Figs 1 C–D); metepisternal dark stripe better defined. Legs, coxa and trochanter greenish-yellow; tibia dark brown to black with dorsal surface yellow.

Wings ( Fig. 10 B). Membrane hyaline, very slightly smoked with light brown. Venation as follows: one Hw lacking basal subcostal crossvein; 11–13 Ax in Fw, 10 Ax in Hw, Ax2 the 4th in one Fw and one Hw; 7–10 Px in Fw, 7–8 in Hw; 8–9 postsubnodals (including brace vein) in Fw, 9–10 in Hw; 5–7 bridge crossveins in Fw, 5 in Hw; arc at or 0.3 proximal to second Ax; 3–5 crossveins in the space between arc and RP-midfork in Fw, 2–3 in Hw; Fw discoidal field 9–12 cells at wing margin; Hw discoidal field with 2–5 rows of two cells, followed by 1–2 rows of three cells, then broadening to 9–13 cells towards wing margin; anal loop barely defined with five cells; 6 paranal cells from wing base to apex of subtriangle in Fw, 4 in Hw; 6–9 spines along of the dorso-proximal margin (AP&AA). Abdomen. S2 with the large pale spot with irregular margin; S7 with a pale spot entirely greenish-yellow; S8 with a round pale spot at anterior 0.33; S10 distinctly paler than former segments with ill-defined paler areas. Posterior margin of auricles with irregular rows containing 8–14 minute spines, 5 setae at the line of basal hair-like setae on anterior margin of posterior hamule. Vesica spermalis (based on paratype from Lagoa Santa, Figs 6 A–C). Sclerotized parts dark brown to black; ventral surface of V1 with two processes, a small rounded one at proximal third and a large strong scoop-like process at distal third (median cleft sensu Belle 1988), the latter laminar in lateral view, in anteroposterior view with converging rounded apexes and covered with hair-like yellow setae internally ( Figs 6 A, C); V2 tubular, lacking a defined H; V3 globose in ventral view, dorsal surface (process ‘f’ of Pfau 2011) with a rounded, slightly sclerotized distal process ( Figs 6 B, h-f) prolonged over joint between V3 and V4 (J v3-v4), ventrally with a distinct proximal sclerite ( Figs 6 A, p-ps), and a membranous-like hood distally over V4, tapering into a tongue-like apex ventrally ( Figs 6 A, “mh”); V4 cornet-like, with a pair of lateroproximal sclerotized projections ( Figs 6 A-B, “lsp”), curved anteriorly in lateral view ( Fig. 6 A), pair of long distal flagella somewhat forcipate in ventral view ( Fig. 6 B, d-fl), in lateral view as long as V4 length ( Fig. 6 A). Cercus brownishyellow to dark brown to black, ventral branch light brown to dark-brown. Epiproct brown to almost black.

Measurements. Abdomen length (excluding caudal appendages) 27.5–29.2; head maximum width 6.0 (specimen from Serra do Salitre not measured, eyes smashed); Fw length 23.4–25.0; Hw length 22.2–23.8; Fw maximum width 5.1–5.2, in Hw 6.4–6.7; pt length 2.6–2.7 in Fw, 2.6–2.8 in Hw; length of metathoracic femur 6.0–6.3; metathoracic tibia 4.6–4.8; length of S9+ 10 in lateral view 2.8; total length of cercus in lateral view 1.2–1.3.

Larva. Unknown.

Diagnosis. The wide cornet-like distal portion of V4 ( Figs 6 A–B), upturned tapered apex of cylindrical cercus ( Figs 7 A–C, 8A–B), distal concavity from posterior 0.7 of epiproct of males ( Fig. 8 B) and short subgenital plate (ratio between length of plate and S9 <0.4) with a wide concavity of females ( Figs 9 C), will separate Cyanogomphus angelomachadoi sp. nov. from Tibiagomphus (V4 distal portion narrow, apex of cercus posteriorly directed, epiproct dorsally smooth, lacking concavity, and female subgenital plate large and with a narrow mesal incision, Figs 6 F–G, 7J– O, 8G–J, 9E).

The dark mesal part of the mesepisternum close to the dorsal carina ( Fig. 1 ), epiproct with a larger distal concavity at posterior 0.70 ( Fig. 8 B) and dark abdomen with pale spots ( Figs 10 A–B, 11A–B) distinguish this species from C. comparabilis (mesal part of mesepisternum pale, epiproct with distal concavity reduced to a small posterodorsal area, abdomen almost uniform in color, Figs 7 E, 8F, 10C). Cyanogomphus angelomachadoi sp. nov. is similar in general appearance to C. waltheri , with which the smallest specimens might be confused. Cyanogomphus angelomachadoi sp. nov. can be distinguished by its smaller size (length of Hw 22.2–24.5 vs. 25.8–31.6 for C. waltheri ); general paler color ( Figs 10 A–B, 11A–B), with large pale areas connected on mesepisternum ( Figs 1 A–B, E–F), except the paratype male from Serra do Salitre ( Fig. 10 B), which is distinctly darker with pale areas only partially connected and showing well-defined mesepisternal stripes limited by dark ground color ( Figs 1 C–D), much like some C. waltheri specimens ( C. waltheri pale areas less broad, with first and second antehumeral stripes well defined); dorsal surface of metathoracic tibia yellow to brownish-yellow ( Fig. 3 A, black in C. waltheri , Fig. 3 B), distal concavity on epiproct larger (beginning at <0.76 length of epiproct, Fig. 8 B; while in C. waltheri at> 0.80 length, Fig. 8 D) with laterodistal projection in lateral view longer and slender, forefinger-shaped ( Figs 7 A, 8A; in C. waltheri epiproct laterodistal projection smaller and stout, thumb-shaped, Figs 7 G, 8C); and cercus upright ( Figs 7 A, 8A) will distinguish it from C. waltheri (cercus less curved upright, Figs 7 G, 8C). Both species appear to be allopatric with C. angelomachadoi sp. nov., thus far known as a representative of the Cerrado, and C. waltheri , a representative of the Atlantic Forest ( Fig. 12 ).

Distribution. States of Minas Gerais and São Paulo, Brazil, in the Cerrado biogeographical province ( Fig. 12 ).

Biological and ecological data. Adults were collected at lotic systems, near rivers, streams, and creeks, surrounded by forests (riparian) in rupestrian formations over ironstone outcrops known as “canga”, at 664–766 meters in the core of Serra do Espinhaço mountain range (PNSC and Lagoa Santa sites) and at 1205 meters of elevation in the Serra da Canastra formation (Serra do Salitre site) in the Brazilian Cerrado domain. The pair from PNSC was caught using a Malaise trap and light sheet, non-traditional methods to capture dragonflies ( De Almeida et al. 2013). Despite more than 300 km between sites in PNSC and Lagoa Santa (Espinhaço mountain range) from that in Serra do Salitre (Canastra mountain range), they are similar environmentally, typical of the Brazilian Cerrado in that region; temperature, altitude, vegetation and rock outcrops are common to both regions. However, the paratype from São Paulo was collected at 485 meters in an apparently different environment, a sedimentary basin located in the north of Serra Geral rather than rupestrian formation where other specimens were collected.

Etymology. angelomachadoi (noun phrase in genitive singular formed by a given and surname) specific name in honor of our friend and eminent Brazilian odonatologist Angelo B. M. Machado on the occasion of his 80th birthday.

Remarks. The only bona fide female from PNSC (DZRJ) is damaged, lacking S5–10 ( Fig. 11 A), precluding a full description, while the complete female collected at same site of paratype male from Serra do Salitre (ABMM) is poorly preserved as to general color pattern ( Fig. 11 B), leaving in some doubt an association with this species. It was for this reason excluded from the type series. The Lagoa Santa paratype (MNRJ) is damaged, with head detached, synthorax crushed, and S1–6 varying from slightly to strongly damaged, with the left auricle broken. The male paratype from São Paulo State in RWG collection was not examined; however, it agrees fairly well with other specimens, showing the mesepisternal stripes divided as in the holotype (RWG pers. comm.). The females from Goiás (ABMM) may also be this species (see under Cyanogomphus sp.).
