Camptomorpha digitata

Camptomorpha digitata (Schubart, 1947) Fig. 3. Leptodesmus (Desmoleptus) digitAtus Schubart, 1947 b: 43, figs 42–43. Syntypes, MNRJ. CAmptOmOrpHA digitAtus (sic!) — Hoffman, 1953: 124. Leptodesmus (PHAntAsmOdesmus) digitAtus — Kraus, 1956: 142, Camptomorpha by implication. BRIEF DESCRIPTIVE NOTES (after Schubart [1947]). Length 39–40 mm, width 5.2–5.4 mm. Coloration castaneous, clypeus, labrum, sulcus on vertex, basal antennomere, venter, legs and epiproct lighter, sides of collum and rims of paraterga yellowish. Paraterga broadly and regularly rounded, rimmed throughout (Fig. 3A–C); caudal corners increasingly acute, triangular and pointed from ring 14 on. Epiproct simple, short and finger-shaped. ♂ legs ventrallY with prefemora bearing semi-circular bulges distally and with all tibiae but two last pairs carrying chelae apically. Gonopods (Fig. 3D, E) with prefemoral process (PfP) clearly longer than acropodite (A), both being rather elaborate and armed; PfP with two small and acuminate projections near middle ending in an irregularly shaped acuminate apex, the latter directed basally; apical margin of A divided into two branches, internal one being slender, vs a broader external one; solenomere (sl) simple and slender, subflagelliform distallY. DISTRIBUTION. Brazil, Pará, Aurá near Belem, 1°24′ 29.7″S 48°23′51.4″W [Schubart, 1947]. Hoffman [in litt.] added also Parantins, Amazônas state, almost 800 km W of the type locality. Hoffman [in litt.] revised tYpe material and noted that Schubart’s [1947 b] original drawing of the left gonopod was inaccurate and misleading, providing instead several sketches both of an intact gonopod and several body rings (Fig. 3).
