Abstract

A new species of Androdeloscia is described from the Brazilian Amazon. A. leilae sp.n. has two autapomorphies: a concavity followed by a conspicuous elevation on the central portion of the lateral fringe of the maxillule; apex of endopod 1 of male densely spinulose on internal and external margins, with apex straight and unarmed. The new species shares a unique synapomorphy with the two previously known species from the Brazilian Amazon: the presence of four cleft teeth on the maxillule. Diagnostic characters, synonyms, type localities, additional distribution, and references are provided for the remaining 21 species of Androdeloscia known previously.
