Non Setosella vulnerata – Templado et al. 2002: 203. (= Setosella cyclopensis Rosso, Di Martino & Gerovasileiou, 2020). Differential diagnosis Setosella with small, encrusting colonies. Autozooids small, oval, with opesia D-shaped or irregularly rounded, and two oval to tear-shaped opesiules, positioned close to opesia and directly beside lateral walls of zooid. Small interzooidal vibracula oval, positioned distolateral to each autozooid, always on the right side and often without exceeding distal edge of autozooid, especially in ovicelled ones. Ectooecium with transversely oval membranous window and granular endooecial surface underneath, with a small, central pore. Ancestrula oval, with cryptocyst occupying slightly less than half of the frontal area; opesia semielliptical, with straight or slightly concave proximal border. Etymology This species is dedicated to Margarita Salas Falgueras (1938–2019), Spanish scientist, medical researcher, and author in the fields of biochemistry and molecular genetics. She was a disciple of S. Ochoa (see above).

Description Colony encrusting, unilaminar, forming small discoidal patches of alternating autozooids and vibracula. Autozooids irregularly oval, with well-developed smooth gymnocyst proximally that narrows and steepens distally, lateral walls slightly raised, framing an evenly granular cryptocyst that is flat and depressed proximally, gently rising distally to the opesiules to form the proximal border of the opesia. Opesia D-shaped or irregularly rounded, wider than long, distal margin with some blunt, irregularly spaced denticles. Two oval to tear-shaped opesiules (ca 20 μm long by 10 μm-wide), located in distal depressed area of the cryptocyst, positioned close to the opesia (mean 36 μm) and directly beside the lateral walls of zooid, their inner edges sometimes with several sharp denticles; the size of both opesiules unequal, the left one slightly larger. Small interzooidal vibracula oval, positioned distolateral to each autozooid, always on the right side and often without exceeding the distal edge of the autozooid, especially in ovicelled ones. Wide oval opesia, sometimes slightly narrower in the middle; seta long and slender, curved, up to twice length of the autozooid. Communication of zooids via small uniporous septula. Some autozooids and vibracula show evidence of breakage and regeneration associated with the intramural budding (Fig. 5C–D). Ovicells terminal, with a brood cavity immersed within the distal part of the maternal zooid. Kenozooidal ooecium roughly level with the colony surface, forming shallow hood covering distal end of the maternal zooid from which it is budded. Proximal ooecial margin forming the distal part of the zooidal orifice; ectooecium with transversely oval membranous window and granular endooecial surface underneath, with a small, central pore. Ovicellate zooids dimorphic, slightly wider distally, with orifices distinctly broader and campanulate in outline. Distal budding of autozooids and vibracula in ooecium-producing zooid retained. Ancestrula oval, with cryptocyst relatively smooth, occupying slightly less than half of the frontal area; opesia semi elliptical, with straight or slightly concave proximal border. Astogenesis beginning with one distal and two lateral autozooids; later zooids more irregularly arranged. The ancestrula also buds the two typical caudate vibracula of the genus: one short caudate, budded mid-laterally on the left side, and the other long caudate, budded distally, and sometimes curved to the right. On one occasion, however, this pattern was reversed, with the short vibraculum budded on the right side (Fig. 4C). Remarks The genus Setosella and all the species ascribed to it are at present well described under current standards. Setosella vulnerata, the type species of the genus, was redescribed by Souto et al. (2016). Rosso et al. (2020) redefined the genus itself as well as two known species (S. cavernicola Harmelin, 1977 and S. spiralis Silén, 1942) and three new species (S. alfioi Rosso, Di Martino & Gerovasileiou, 2020, S. cyclopensis Rosso, Di Martino & Gerovasileiou, 2020 and S. rossanae Rosso, Di Martino & Gerovasileiou, 2020). Another species, S. folini Jullien, 1882, was redescribed by Souto et al. (2011). Finally, an undescribed species was reported from Galicia (NW Iberian Peninsula) as S. aff. cavernicola (see Reverter-Gil et al. 2012; Rosso et al. 2020). Setosella margaritae sp. nov. differs from S. vulnerata (see redescription by Souto et al. 2016) as well as from S. cyclopensis, quite a similar species, by several characters: the vibracula of S. margaritae sp. nov. are much smaller, about half the size, and characteristically shifted laterally on the right side, often without exceeding the distal end of the autozooid (especially in ovicelled zooids), instead being distal or only slightly distolateral. The autozooids are oval and clearly smaller in S. margaritae sp. nov. The opesiules are shorter, oval to tear-shaped, instead slit-like or elongated; moreover, the opesiules are located closer to the opesia and directly beside the lateral walls of the zooid, instead of away from the opesia and the lateral walls. The window of the ectooecium in S. margaritae sp. nov. is transversally oval, whilst in S. vulnerata and S. cyclopensis it is roughly circular, much smaller in the former species, much larger in the latter. Finally, the colonies of S. margaritae sp. nov. are very small, encrusting mainly shell fragments in shallow waters, as opposed to larger colonies encrusting mainly coarse sand, granules and fine pebbles in deeper waters in the other species. At the same time, Setosella folini and S. alfioi differ from S. margaritae sp. nov. most obviously by their uniserial, free-living colonies. Setosella cavernicola, S. rossanae and Setosella sp. (as S. aff. cavernicola in Reverter-Gil et al. 2012) differ by their circular opesiules, four or even up to five in the latter two species. Finally, S. spiralis differs by the much larger autozooids and vibracula, with opesiules located further away from the opesia, and by colonies with spirally arranged zooids typically in a single rightcoiled row. In the past, we have considered our own material to be similar to typical Setosella vulnerata. That is why we have cited deep material as Setosella sp. (see Reverter-Gil et al. 2012). But after the redescription of S. vulnerata by Souto et al. (2016) the situation has turned out to be just the opposite. Our previous records of S. vulnerata from shallow waters of Galicia (NW Iberian Peninsula) are here assigned to S. margaritae sp. nov.: from the Ría of Ferrol at 8–20 m depth, and from the Ría of Vigo at 9–23 m depth, both on shell fragments (Reverter-Gil & Fernández-Pulpeiro 2001 and present data). These colonies are very small, formed by very few autozooids, but are fertile because ovicells are formed even in the first or second generations of periancestrular zooids (Figs 4A, C, 5A). Moreover, the material of S. vulnerata reported and figured by De Blauwe (2006, 2009), collected on shells at 10–25 m depth in Belgium (North Sea), also belongs to S. margaritae sp. nov. These colonies are larger than the Galician ones, but present the same characters, also including ovicells in the first or second generations of zooids (see De Blauwe 2009: figs 257–258; accessible also through WoRMS 2020: http://www.marinespecies.org/photogallery.php?album=709&pic=25695#photogallery and http://www.marinespecies.org/photogallery.php?album=709&pic=25696#photogallery). Moreover, the description and figures of S. vulnerata in Hayward & Ryland (1998) fit the present description of S. margaritae sp. nov., at least the shallow-water material referred to there. Accordingly, the species is quite possibly distributed in shallow waters along the Atlantic coast of Europe, from the North Sea to at least the NW of the Iberian Peninsula. Its occurrence in other areas should be confirmed by reviewing previous citations of S. vulnerata. In a previous paper (Reverter-Gil et al. 2012), we already suggested that previous records of S. vulnerata might correspond to several different species. Conversely, previous records of Setosella vulnerata in Atlantic Iberian deep waters (Cachucho [= Le Danois Bank], Galicia, Portugal and Gulf of Cadiz) actually belong to this species (see Jullien 1882; Calvet 1907; d’Hondt 1973, 1974; Hayward 1979; Harmelin & d’Hondt 1992; Reverter-Gil & Fernández-Pulpeiro 2001 only deep waters; Reverter-Gil et al. 2014; Souto et al. 2016), as is also the case for records published as Setosella sp. by Reverter-Gil et al. (2012) (see also Souto et al. 2016; Rosso et al. 2020). There are a few more previous records of Setosella vulnerata in Iberian waters: the record from Alboran Island, at 118 m depth, made by Templado et al. (2006) actually corresponds to S. vulnerata (see material examined and Fig. 6) as well as the recent records published by Ramalho et al. (2020) in a nearby area between 95 and 440 m depth. However, the record from Columbretes Islands (Mediterranean Spain), at 80 m depth, made by Templado et al. (2002) actually belongs to S. cyclopensis (see material examined; unfortunately, this sample is currently unavailable for photography). Thus, this is the first Iberian record of this Mediterranean species. We have no further information about the records published by Zabala et al. (1993) from the Blanes Canyon at 180–350 m depth and by Madurell et al. (2013) from Cap de Creus at 104–225 m depth (Catalonia), but based on the given depths these records may belong to S. vulnerata or to S. cyclopensis. Following Souto et al. (2016) and Rosso et al. (2020), Setosella vulnerata is distributed in the Northeast Atlantic and the Mediterranean, although several Atlantic and Mediterranean occurrences still need to be checked. As already stated by Rosso et al. (2020) it is likely that S. vulnerata is actually restricted to deep habitats from the shelf break and the continental slope.Published as part of Reverter-Gil, Oscar & Souto, Javier, 2021, Two new species of cheilostomate Bryozoa from Iberian waters, pp. 16-31 in European Journal of Taxonomy 760 on pages 22-28, DOI: 10.5852/ejt.2021.760.1437, http://zenodo.org/record/512174

    Repeatability and Two-Dimensionality of Model Scale Sloshing Impacts

    No full text
    Canonical test cases for sloshing wave impact problems are pre-sented and discussed. In these cases the experimental setup has been simpli?ed seeking the highest feasible repeatability; a rectangular tank subjected to harmonic roll motion has been the tested con?guration. Both lateral and roof impacts have been studied, since both cases are relevant in sloshing assessment and show speci?c dynamics. An analysis of the impact pressure of the ?rst four impact events is provided in all cases. It has been found that not in all cases a Gaussian ?tting of each individual peak is feasible. The tests have been conducted with both water and oil in order to obtain high and moderate Reynolds number data; the latter may be useful as simpler test cases to assess the capabilities of CFD codes in simulating sloshing impacts. The re-peatability of impact pressure values increases dramatically when using oil. In addition, a study of the two-dimensionality of the problem using a tank con?guration that can be adjusted to 4 di?erent thicknesses has been carried out. Though the kinemat-ics of the free surface does not change signi cantly in some of the cases, the impact pressure values of the ?rst impact events changes substantially from the small to the large aspect ratios thus meaning that attention has to be paid to this issue when reference data is used for validation of 2D and 3D CFD codes

Peristome and periproct transverse. Three interambulacral plates on each side of periproct. Basicoronal plate 5 narrow and elongated. Etymology. Named after Briareus, the Greek God of violent sea storms, in reference to the turbulent taxonomic history related to the specimens described herein (see taxonomic history below). Description. Test oval (TW 79% of TL), lateral edges straight, anterior and posterior margins round; anterior and posterior regions of aboral region inflated with greatest height at apical disc, transverse cross section domed; oral region concave along the midline of the anterior-posterior axis. Test measurements (TL * TW * TH in mm): 18.36 * 14.52 * 10.4 (H) (Fig. 1A–B) and 18.2 * ca. 14.3 * ca. 10.4 (P) (Fig. 1D–E). Apical disc anterior, monobasal, ca. 9.5% of TL, flat, with four gonopores on disc edge; hydropores abundant and spread across plate (Fig. 2A). Anterior ocular plates between their adjacent gonopores; posterior ocular plates large and slightly posterior to gonopores 1 and 4; posterior region of apical disc slightly bulging towards interambulacrum. Petalodium about 75% of TL. Petals roughly with same L and W, broad in the middle and narrow distally, but not closing (Fig. 2B–D); inner and outer columns of respiratory podia bowed; poriferous zone narrow, pores slightly conjugated; outer pores elongated, inner pores round and smaller than outer. Columns a and b of posterior petals differ by 2 pore-pairs (number of respiratory podia in P: petal I, 21/23; petal V, 24/22), of anterior paired petals differ by 1–2 pore-pairs (number of respiratory podia in H: petal II, 21/20; petal IV, 18/20), anterior petal is equal (H: petal III, 21/21 respiratory podia). Primary tubercles present in poriferous zone; 3, sometimes 4 primary tubercles per petal plate. No occluded plates in petals. Ambulacra beyond petals increase 60–90% in relation to end-petal W; unipores in plates beyond petals: aboral plates wider than long, pores on suture, between adradial edge and middle of plate (Fig. 2E), and oral plates about 2x longer than wide, pores on middle of plate suture (Fig. 2I). Phyllodes with unipores, with only one column of pores on each half (number of phyllopores per half: anterior phyllode 5–6, paired phyllodes 7–9) (Fig. 2G–L). Plates sometimes unequal in size and shape; pyrinoid plate present on phyllode II, between plates 5 and 6 (Fig. 2G, J). Columns slightly bowed proximally and W narrows down distally. Pores usually aligned in a uniform column. Buccal pores same size as phyllopores. Ambulacral basicoronal plates pierced by buccal pore and one per ambulacrum also pierced by a phyllopore in the sequence a, a, b, a, b from phyllode I to V (Fig. 2G). Four to 5 sphaeridia in large and enclosed pits near buccal pores (Fig. 2H). Peristome anterior (34% TL from anterior region), deep (basicoronal plates extend further towards the inside of the test), slightly transverse (L 78–81% of W), pentagonal on the outside and subpentagonal on the inside (Fig. 1C). Mouth opening in center of peristomial membrane. Bourrelets slightly developed as mounds mostly towards the inside of the peristome (Fig. 10A–B). Cross-section of bourrelet with ca. 8 spines (Fig. 10B). Columns a and b of interambulacrum 5 with 7 and 8 plates between basicoronal plate and base of periproct, respectively, and 2 until adapical region of periproct (i.e., periproct is framed by 3 plates on each side). Interambulacral basicoronal plates 1 and 4 very narrow (much reduced and occluded in one specimen), 2 and 3 broadest, 5 intermediate in size (Fig. 2G). Second and third oral plates on interambulacrum 5 are much longer than wide. Naked zone well-developed throughout midline of test on interambulacrum 5 and ambulacrum III (W 22– 25% of TW) (Fig. 1B). Deep pits present in oral region, mostly on naked zone. Periproct marginal and transverse (L 46% of W), beyond posterior petals; aboral plates form a prominent lip, oral and lateral plates do not bend inside the periproct (Fig. 1E). Periproct framed adorally by plates 5.a.7 and 5.b.8, and adapically by plates 5.a.9 and 5.b.10. Periproctal membrane with 2 rows of 4 large plates; smaller plates scattered in aboral region near anus (Fig. 2F). Anus opening aborally, on center of periproctal membrane. Primary tubercles perforate and slightly crenulate. Oral primary tubercles with mamelon displaced in the opposite direction of the spine (usually anteriorly from center of bosses) and ca. 2.5x as large as aboral tubercles. Bourrelet spines curved and with thick tip, oral spines long and straight, aboral spines short and straight, spines on periproct thin, straight, and intermediate in size between oral and aboral spines. Miliary tubercles all over the test. Few tridentate pedicellariae on stalks (valves 220–225 mm L) on periproct. Because very little soft tissue was preserved on available specimens, ophicephalous pedicellariae and tube foot ossicles were not observed. Remarks. Cassidulus briareus sp. nov. differs from its congeners (i.e., C. caribaearum, C. infidus and C. mitis) (Table 2) by having the anterior region of the test very inflated (vs. gradual height increase towards apical disc); a narrow and elongated basicoronal plate 5 (vs. squarish shape); a subpentagonal to triangular peristome, from the inside of the test (vs. subpentagonal to pentagonal); and a reduced number of plates framing the periproct (3 vs. 4 in the others [but rarely 3 plates on b column]). In addition, it differs from C. caribaearum by having an arched test in cross section of the adult (vs. triangular shape), shorter periproct, and more developed phyllodes with 2–3 more phyllopores than C. caribaearum; from C. mitis by having a uniform row of pores in the phyllodes (vs. disorganized row in which some pores are displaced forming an apparent inner series), and from C. infidus by having the greatest height at the apical disc (vs. posterior to the apical disc). Cassidulus briareus sp. nov. and its historical context within the genus Cassidulus. The specimens described herein were formerly identified as Cassidulus australis Blv. To our knowledge, Blainville did not describe any living species of Cassidulus and in his papers, he acknowledged Lamarck as author of C. australis (see Blainville, 1830, p. 192; 1834, p. 210). This species was described by Lamarck (1816) but later considered to be invalid (Gray, 1855, p. 34; A. Agassiz, 1872 –1874, p. 153; Mortensen, 1948a, p. 209–210). Here we provide information on the taxonomic history of the genus Cassidulus that was pertinent in the decision to describe the new species. Lamarck (1801, p. 348–349) described C. caribaearum together with the genus Cassidulus, without recording the repository of the holotype or the type locality of the species. The latter was assumed to be the Caribbean, given the name of the species and also because Lamarck mentioned Spanish Town (near Kingston, Jamaica) in a later publication (Lamarck, 1816, p. 35). He (1801, p. 349) also made reference to Bruguière et al. (1827, pl. 143, fig. 8– 10), which includes illustrations of the specimen that, although of poor quality and lacking detail, captured the triangular shape of the test in cross section and the shape of the periproct and peristome. In 1816 (p. 35), Lamarck described C. australis, based on specimens supposedly collected by Charles Alexandre Lesueur and François Péron during the Baudin Expedition (1801–1803) in Shark’s Bay, Western Australia (as “baie des Chiens marins, Nouvelle-Hollande ”). This description was slightly different from the description of C. caribaearum; however, Lamarck mentioned that C. australis also occurred in the Caribbean and included in his synonymy list Bruguière et al. (1827, pl. 143, fig. 8–10), which means this species and C. caribaearum are synonyms. Again, he failed to record where the specimen was deposited. Shortly afterwards, Lamouroux et al. (1824, p. 174) synonymized C. caribaearum with C. australis and redescribed the species. They also suggested re-naming the species C. richardi, in honor of the person who had collected the type of C. caribaearum, and mentioned that it was not clear that the specimen collected by Péron and Lesueur was the same as the one described by Lamarck (1816). Their description stated that the specimen was “rather convex above”, which matches the shape of Cassidulus briareus sp. nov., but the test shape in the illustration is more similar to that of C. caribaearum (triangular shape seen in large specimens). All subsequent publications involving the genus Cassidulus (including the ones by Lamarck) accepted the synonymy proposed by Lamouroux et al. (1824), although any of the three names (C. caribaearum, C. australis and C. richardi) was used for the species (e.g., Eichwald, 1829; Blainville, 1830; 1834; Lamarck, 1837; 1840; Des Moulins, 1835 –1837; A. Agassiz, 1869; Mortensen, 1948b; Mooi, 1990b). The occurrence of the species in Australia was often disregarded even though Lamarck kept including this locality in his papers. L. Agassiz & Desor (1847, p. 157) finally indicated that there was a specimen of C. australis (possibly the holotype) in the MNHN; and Mortensen (1948b, p. 209–210) suggested that the occurrence of the species in Australia was probably a result of “erroneous labeling”. His reasoning was that if the species occurred in Australia, more specimens would have been collected during the intervening 150 years; logic that makes sense for many taxa. This species, however, appears to be less common than expected. Vadon et al. (1984) mentioned that they did not find the type of C. caribaearum in the MNHN and that Lamarck probably described the same specimen twice. The label retained the name used last, i.e., C. australis. However, Lamarck (1816) clearly mentioned that they were specimens from different localities. In addition, Lamarck’s descriptions of C. caribaearum and of C. australis were slightly different, although both were somewhat imprecise. Possible type specimen of C. caribaearum at the MNHN. Following up on this debate, we believe that the vial identified as C. caribaearum in the MNHN (Fig. 3, MNHN-IE-2013-10590 [Syntype?]; previously as EcEs 5040) might contain the type of one of the species described by Lamarck or perhaps even of both species. Two labels in the vial provide different identifications: one is identified as C. australis and the other (label apparently younger and written by A. Agassiz) is identified as Rhyncholampas caribaearum, with C. australis and Nucleolites richardi as synonyms. Also, both labels refer to the “Voyage de Péron & Lesueur 1801”, which indicates the material was from Australia rather than the Caribbean (MNHN, 2017). This vial contains broken pieces of two specimens as indicated by the fact that there are six complete phyllodes (one entire set and an additional broken phyllode). The following traits characterize them as Cassidulus: petal unequal in length (only one present, not sure if anterior or posterior; Fig. 3C, G), peristome transverse and subpentagonal (W 3.39 mm, L 2.18 mm), buccal pores present, sphaeridia in enclosed pits (Fig. 3D), phyllodes with a single column of phyllopores per half (Fig. 3D–F), naked zone developed and deeply pitted, mamelons of oral primary tubercles displaced from center. Additional characteristics are: posterior phyllodes and phyllode III with 5–6 pores, anterior paired phyllodes with 6–7 pores, plates beyond phyllodes longer than wide. Basicoronal plate 5 seems more elongated than in specimens of C. caribaearum preserved in the CASIZ collection (CASIZ 112633, 112683 A) but not as narrow as in Cassidulus briareus sp. nov. (Fig. 3A), and the number of phyllopores also overlaps both species. Therefore, identifying the broken pieces based on these traits is not reliable, nor would be any assertion that they belong to one or two species. Also, the illustrations in Bruguière et al. (1827, pl. 143, fig. 8–10) are very poor and only capture the overall shape of the specimen, making it impossible to determine if they correspond to the broken specimens in the vial at the MNHN. Decision to describe a new species. According to the synonymy list provided by Lamarck (1816), C. australis is a subjective junior synonym of C. caribaearum. In addition, since C. australis was poorly described, it is impossible to determine if any subsequently collected Australian Cassidulus specimens are conspecific. The type specimen is probably lost, unidentifiable, or lacking diagnostic features, leading to much confusion in the literature regarding its validity. Therefore, it is not possible to determine that the material collected by Salmin is the same as Lamarck's C. australis, and we elected to describe a new species while at the same time stabilizing the nomenclature within the genus Cassidulus. Prediction of the type locality of C. briareus sp. nov. C.L. Salmin was a trader in Hamburg, Germany, who collected and sold specimens during the 1860s–1870s without taking much care in recording details regarding sampling locality (Holthuis, 2002). The only record we found in the literature documenting a collection of Australian echinoderms made by him is of holothuroids, collected in Cape York, Queensland (Samyn et al., 2013). However, museum registries also indicate that he has collected marine fish in Victoria, suggesting that the specimens described herein could have been collected in other places along the Australian coast. If “ C. australis ” was indeed collected by Péron and Lesueur in Australia, it is possible that C. briareus sp. nov. lived in the same region (i.e., Shark’s Bay, Western Australia). Decision to designate a neotype for Cassidulus caribaearum Lamarck. As the type material of this species cannot be reliably identified and the illustrations provided by Bruguière et al. (1827, pl. 143, fig. 8–10) do not contain diagnostic characteristics, a neotype designation for C. caribaearum is necessary to objectively define this species name (ICZN 1999, articles 75.1 and 75.3.4), and also to clarify the taxonomic status of the higher taxonomic ranks in which this species serves as the type species.Published as part of Souto, Camilla & Martins, Luciana, 2018, Synchrotron micro-CT scanning leads to the discovery of a new genus of morphologically conserved echinoid (Echinodermata: Cassiduloida) in Zootaxa 4457 (1), DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.4457.1.3, http://zenodo.org/record/145756

Specimens of the new species live in sympatry with specimens of Thraulodes jones Gonçalves, Da- Silva & Nessimian, 2010. Thraulodes pinga sp. nov. occurs only at low altitudes, ranging between 60–80 m, flying after nightfall. Etymology. “ Pinga ” is an informal name for cachaça, a Brazilian alcoholic beverage derived from sugarcane. Paraty, the type-locality of the holotype, is a municipality famous for its cachaça. Type material. Brazil, Rio de Janeiro State: Holotype: Paraty, Sertão do Taquari, Afluente do Rio Taquari (PA 2), 23 °02’30,40’’S / 44 ° 41 ’45,20’’W, 01.I. 2013, Souto, P.M., Hoffmann, A. & Silveira, L.F. leg. male imago (DZRJ 2368). Paratypes: Same data, 1 male imago, pair of wings on slide (DZRJ 2369); Same data, 1 male imago, genitalia on slide (DZRJ 2370); Same data, 1 female imago (DZRJ 2371); Same data, 1 female subimago (DZRJ 2372); Same locality, 18.VIII. 2012, Souto, P.M. & Gonçalves, R.S. leg., 3 male subimagos (DZRJ 2373); Same locality, 12.X. 2012, Souto, P.M. & Gonçalves, R.S. leg. 2 females subimagos (DZRJ 2374); Same locality, 12.X. 2012, Souto, P.M. & Gonçalves, R.S. leg. 1 male subimago (DZRJ 2375). Discussion. Thraulodes pinga sp. nov. resembles Thraulodes pelicanus, specially by the abdominal color pattern, short penes with a lateral pouch and apicolateral rounded with ear-like projection. However, the new species can be distinguished from T. pelicanus by the styliger plate format with posterior median projection short with truncate apex and the presence of one cross vein weakly marked basal to bullae. Thraulodes pelicanus has a styliger plate with posterior median projection long, almost the size of the penes, and cross veins basal to bullae are absent in forewings. Moreover, Thraulodes pinga sp. nov. has one band and one maculae on femora, while T. pelicanus has only one band. The two new species described here can be distinguished by the styliger plate and penes format, the number of cross veins basal to bullae on forewings, the general color of the body and the abdominal color pattern. Also, the two new species will key to Thraulodes ulmeri Edmunds, 1950 in Lima et al. (2013). The new species can be distinguished from T. ulmeri by the following characters: femora with one band and maculae, being one band in T. ulmeri; coastal membrane basal do bullae with 2–3 cross veins in T. luisae sp. nov. and 1 cross vein in T. pinga sp. nov., being 4 cross veins in T. ulmeri; penes with shorter spines in T. ulmeri. The key for male imagos of Thraulodes in Lima et al. (2013) may be emended by modifying the fourth couplet to separate the new species from T. ulmeri and adding two more couplets, as follows: 4 (3).
