A new species of Surazomus (Arachnida, Schizomida) from Brazilian Oriental Amazonia

Uma espécie nova de Surazomus (Arachnida, Schizomida) da Amazônia Oriental Brasileira

Surazomus paitit sp. nov. is described from the Caxiuanã National Forest, State of Pará, Brazil. The new species resembles S.manaus Cokendolpher & Reddell, 2000 and S.arboreus Cokendolpher & Reddell, 2000 due to the shape of the male flagellum (with three projections on the posterior region and two dorsal depressions arranged in a row); it differs from them by the presence of two spurs on the pedipalpal femur (instead of a single one in S.arboreus and none in S.manaus), and by the male flagellum with slightly convergent sides posteriad (instead of parallel sides in S.manaus).
