First record of Stygnidae for the state of Espírito Santo and description of a new Protimesius (Arachnida: Opiliones: Laniatores)

Protimesius osvaldoi sp. nov. is described from the Reserva Biológica de Sooretama, state of Espírito Santo, southeastern Brazil, being the first record of Stygnidae from this State and the southernmost record of the family in the Brazilian Atlantic Forest (hitherto, the family was recorded down to Bahia only), extending in 210 km south of the previously known distribution. This is a large species, with armature of leg IV very reduced and penial morphology differing from the closest counterparts mainly in the ventral plate, which recedes deeply at the lateral borders and has the distal margin curved ventrally and by the presence of two small intermediate setae. Protimesius Roewer, 1913 consisted hitherto of 17 species, recorded from northern/northeastern Brazil and Amazonia of adjacent countries. A key is given for the 17 species of Protimesius for which males are known.

Vriesea is the third largest genus in Bromeliaceae and is broadly distributed along of the Brazilian Atlantic Forest. We report the first record of Vriesea correia-araujoi for the Espírito Santo state, in Cachoeiro de Itapemirim municipality, southeastern Brazil. So, the geographic distribution of this species is extended to beyond the Serra do Mar complex, since it was registered as endemic to the coastal region of Rio de Janeiro state. A map with the distribution of the species is presented, as well as the list of examined material.

A New Species

The Brazilian genus Machima Brunner von Wattenwyl, 1878 includes three valid species: M. paranensis Rehn, 1950 and M. scalprum Rehn, 1950 distributed on Southern and M. phyllacantha (Burmeister, 1838) from Northeastern Brazil. Herein we analyzed eleven male specimens of Machima from Parque Nacional de Itatiaia and propose a new species. Machima itatiaia sp. nov. is characterized by its main lobe of the cercus curving abruptly on apical two-thirds and accessory lobe as long as wide. The new species is the first record of the genus from Southeastern Brazil. Finally, we also present a key to species of Machima based on males.

Three new species of genus Ischnomesus are described from three Brazilian sedimentary Basins: Alagoas-Sergipe, Espírito Santo and Campos. Ischnomesus hirsutus sp. nov. was found at depths between 1445 m and 3000 m in Alagoas-Sergipe Basin and Espírito Santo Basin. This species is characterized by having pereonite I with 1 pair of anterolateral small pedestal spines, pereonites I–IV with a pair of anterodorsal pedestal setae and pleotelson with lateral fields bulge Ischnomesus longiseta sp. nov. was found between 400 and 1000 m, on the upper slope in Alagoas-Sergipe Basin and Espírito Santo Basin, and is characterized by having the pereonites without spines or tubercles, but covered with long simple setae, pleotelson with 5 lateral simple setae, without spines or tubercles. Ischnomesus wilsoni sp. nov. was found on the upper slope between 750 and 830 m in Espírito Santo Basin and Campos Basin. This species has the body entirely ornamented with pedestal spines. This is the first record of the family Ischnomesidae for Brazilian waters.
