Abstract
In this study, a new species of Hyalella is described based on specimens collected in wetlands located in northeast region of the state of Rio Grande do Sul. Hyalella terrasolis sp. nov. is characterized by presenting smooth body surface, epimeral plates not acuminated, five serrate setae with accessory setae and seven to eight simple setae on the inner face of gnathopod 1, very pronounced lobe of the propodus of gnathopod 2, inner ramus of uropod 1 of males with one curved seta and ten cuspidate setae apically (being a row of six cuspidade setae), uropod 3 with nine or ten cuspidate setae with accessory seta, telson as long as wide (square) with ten short and long cuspidate setae with an accessory seta. We increase to 43 the number of species of Hyalella in Brazil, and 18 to state of Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil.
期刊介绍:
Zootaxa is a peer-reviewed international journal for rapid publication of high quality papers on any aspect of systematic zoology, with a preference for large taxonomic works such as monographs and revisions. Zootaxa considers papers on all animal taxa, both living and fossil, and especially encourages descriptions of new taxa. All types of taxonomic papers are considered, including theories and methods of systematics and phylogeny, taxonomic monographs, revisions and reviews, catalogues/checklists, biographies and bibliographies, identification guides, analysis of characters, phylogenetic relationships and zoogeographical patterns of distribution, descriptions of taxa, and nomenclature. Open access publishing option is strongly encouraged for authors with research grants and other funds. For those without grants/funds, all accepted manuscripts will be published but access is secured for subscribers only.
