Discussion
Remarks. the genus Brasilidia was established by Nosek in 1973 with B. tropica as type species. The new species is related to the genus of Brasilidia in the following characteristics: 1) Abdominal legs II–II with three setae; 2) Striate band of abdomen VIII reduced; 3) Labial palp reduced; 4) Abdominal sternite VIII with four anterior and two posterior setae. In contra-distinction to the other species of Brasilidia (Tuxen, 1976, 1984; Szeptycki, 2003), sensilla t 3 of the new species on the foretarsus is not cylindrical, setae β 1 and δ 4 differentiated (of different shape as δ 1 – δ 3, δ 5), and reduced labial palp with four setae and one sensilla in the new speices. Although the differences are present between the new species and the other species of Brasilidia, we still place the new species into the genus of Brasilidia. We think it might be possible to establish a new genus if more species of this type are to be found in the future.
