Descriptions(1)

Diagnosis. Entirely brownish gray. Ant. IV with a blunt sensillum, without ciliated chaetae, undivided. Small abdomen of the female with ms 1 and ps 1 regular, ps 2 as a serrated chaeta, with 3 + 3 dorsal and 3 + 3 ventral winged chaetae, without other ventral thick chaetae. Trochanteral regular chaetae (disregarding the trochanteral organ) formula as 3 / 2 / 2 in legs I – III, respectively. Ungues I – III without the inner tooth, but all with tunica. Unguiculus I lacking the inner tooth, unguiculi II – III with the inner tooth. Dens with a basal appendage and eight dorsal chaetae, none of them as spines (adapted from Delamare-Deboutteville and Massoud 1964 a)

Abstract

Katiannoidea Bretfeld is a widespread superfamily of Symphypleona that holds taxa with a trochanteral organ on leg III. Collophoridae is a monogeneric family of Katiannoidea composed solely of Collophora Richards, and its species are characterized by having 4 + 4 eyes and a modified capitate bothriotrichum D. The genus has a mostly Holotropical distribution, with species found in the Americas, Africa, and Asia. The overall morphology of Collophora remains poorly understood, as most species descriptions are insufficient by current Symphypleona taxonomic standards. In this study, we describe a new species of Collophora from northeastern Brazil, characterized especially by its purple body, the presence of ciliated chaetae on the fourth antennal segment, a manubrium with 4 + 4 chaetae, and a dens with eight dorsal chaetae, four of which are modified into spines. We also provide a bibliographic survey with the diagnoses of all Collophora species, an identification key, and a brief discussion on the validity of the families within Katiannoidea, which have never been properly tested using modern phylogenetic methods.
