Larva. Rodrigues Capítulo (1985, p. 332) based on specimens reared in laboratory. Diagnosis. This pale species, as well as T. uncatus, can be separated from Cyanogomphus spp. except C. comparabilis by the mesepisternum close to the dorsal carina largely pale (dark in C. angelomachadoi sp. nov. and C. waltheri, Figs 1, 10 A–B, D, 11 A, C). The narrow cornet-like distal portion of V 4 in ventral view (Fig. 6 G, maximum width <0.6 of V 3 width vs.> 0.75 in Cyanogomphus, Figs 6 B, E), blade-like cercus distinctly flattened with apex directed posteriorly (Figs 7 J–L, 8 G–H, cercus cylindrical, curved toward to the upturned tapered apex in Cyanogomphus, Figs 7 A–I, 8 A–F), the dorsally smooth epiproct, lacking a distal concavity on the epiproct (Figs 8 H, epiproct with a distal concavity in Cyanogomphus, Figs 8 B, D, F) of males, and subtriangular, long subgenital plate (length> 0.5 of S 9) with a narrow and deep mesal incision (Fig. 9 E, subgenital plate short, length <0.4 of S 9, not incised, with a wide V- or U-shaped posteromesal concavity in Cyanogomphus, Figs 9 A–D) of females, separates both species of Tibiagomphus from all Cyanogomphus. Both sexes of T. noval can be distinguished from it sibling congener T. uncatus by its paler generally yellowish color (Figs 10 E, 11 D, distinctly darker in T. uncatus, Fig. 10 F), and by dorsally pale metathoracic tibia and tarsus (Fig. 3 C, dark in T. uncatus, Fig. 3 D). The posterior hamule varies greatly, being longer and slender with the “heel” distinctly less pronounced in T. noval (Figs 4 E, 5 F–H, shorter and stouter in T. uncatus with a more pronounced “heel”, Figs 4 F, 5 I –L), male cercus robust (Figs 7 G, 8 G–H, ratio cercus length / maximum width 0.30–0.36 vs. more slender, 0.25–0.30 in T. uncatus, Figs 7 M, 8 I –J). Further, the smaller size of T. noval (male Hw length 24.7–26.3 vs. 26.8–29.7 of T. uncatus) and allopatric distribution, with T. noval occurring in biogeographical Pampean province of Chacoan dominion and T. uncatus in Araucaria and Parana Forest provinces in Parana dominion (Fig. 13), separate these two species. Distribution. From Rio Grande do Sul State, Brazil, and Entre Rios Province, Argentina south to Florida Department, Uruguay; an inhabitant of the Pampean biogeographical province (Fig. 13). Biological and ecological data. Adults are found in lotic environments such as riffles and deep zones in slow streams surrounded by gallery forest, where adults perch in protected sites, from sea level to 107 meters of elevation. Larvae are shallow burrowers and were found with some adhered detritus (Rodrigues Capítulo 1985). Remarks. The typification by Rodrigues Capítulo (1985) is misleading and imprecise. In describing C. noval he designated an adult male emerged in the laboratory as holotype without mention of its exuvia (Rodrigues Capítulo 1985, p. 329). Furthermore, the other cited specimens, an adult female and six larvae, were not designated as paratypes, therefore this meets the requirement that “expressly excludes them from the type series” (ICZN 1999, Art. 72.4.6), even though an allotype was mentioned in the abstract. The subsequent citation of the female as allotype by Muzón et al. (2007) should be considered an invalid nomenclatural act. The date of publication of all papers in that volume is stated to be 1984, but the cover states 1985. For this reason, without further investigation, we follow Garrison et al. (2006) considering 1985 as the correct year of publication, while the respective day and month still are pending. Except by the paler color (“pardo amarillenta”), all characters mentioned by Rodrigues Capítulo (1985, p. 329–332) are not diagnostic of T. noval in accordance with its new status recognized here, and his characters should be considered as examples of individual variation, as they are shared with some T. uncatus. Rodrigues Capítulo (1985) provided no diagnosis, instead comparing a few selected characters with T. uncatus as follows: (1) anterior margin of the postfrons in dorsal view sinuous with a small mesal convexity, while in T. uncatus it is entirely convex; (2) male S 9 with a V-shaped mesodorsal invagination vs. lacking invagination in T. uncatus; (3) spines along posterior carina of S 9 extend downward two-thirds of the segment height in the male vs. only over dorsal surface in T. uncatus; (4) posterior margin of male epiproct almost straight vs. ovoid in T. uncatus; (5) female distal margin of sternites of S 9–10 distinct from T. uncatus. The shape of the anterior margin of the postfrons (character 1) is variable, specimens of T. noval collected from the same site and day showing either a small mesal convexity (Fig. 5 B) or regularly convex postfrons (Fig. 5 A) such as illustrated for the holotype of T. uncatus by Rodrigues Capítulo (1985, fig. 1). Additionally, variation in the postfrons in T. uncatus also shows a slightly mesal projection along the anterior margin of postfrons (Figs 5 C–D). A small mesodorsal invagination in S 9 (character 2) is common to all Cyanogomphini including T. uncatus (Figs 7 B, E, H, K, N). We did not find the shape of invagination to be a diagnostic character. The distribution of spines along S 9 (character 3) also is variable among specimens, and in both T. noval and T. uncatus they can extend down two-thirds of the segment height (see Figs 7 J, M). This variation might have lead J. Belle to misidentify some T. noval as T. uncatus because they had the spines extending to the ventral half. Even though in T. noval the distal margin of the epiproct (character 4) appears be straighter than that of T. uncatus (Figs 7 J, L, M, O, 8 G–J), it is not ovoid in T. uncatus, and this structure is similar for both species. Finally, character 5 on female sternites of S 9–10 cannot be verified, as differences were not depicted. Although Rodrigues Capítulo (1985) borrowed the holotype of T. uncatus, he adopted the illustrations by Fraser (1947) for his comparisons, possibly due to the poor condition of the holotype (S 4–10 lost, see Belle 1980). The males from municipalities of Guaíba and Pelotas were determined as T. noval, while a couple from Jaguarão municipality, all from Rio Grande do Sul State, Brazil, were determined as T. uncatus by J. Belle in 1992.</description><description>Published as part of Pinto, Ângelo Parise & Almeida, Marcus Vinícius Oliveira De, 2016, A taxonomic synopsis of South American Cyanogomphini Carle with description of Cyanogomphus angelomachadoi sp. nov. from the Cerrado of Brazil (Odonata: Gomphidae) in Zootaxa 4078 (1), DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.4078.1.6, http://zenodo.org/record/270853</description><identifier>https://zenodo.org/record/6077755</identifier><identifier>10.5281/zenodo.6077755</identifier><identifier>oai:zenodo.org:6077755</identifier><relation>info:eu-repo/semantics/altIdentifier/url/http://treatment.plazi.org/id/495E274CFFDAFF91FF43FA9CECE2F945</relation><relation>doi:10.11646/zootaxa.4078.1.6</relation><relation>url:http://zenodo.org/record/270853</relation><relation>url:http://publication.plazi.org/id/B5675F34FFC9FF87FFD4FFFCE97EFD39</relation><relation>doi:10.5281/zenodo.270855</relation><relation>doi:10.5281/zenodo.270854</relation><relation>doi:10.5281/zenodo.270863</relation><relation>doi:10.5281/zenodo.270859</relation><relation>doi:10.5281/zenodo.270860</relation><relation>doi:10.5281/zenodo.270861</relation><relation>doi:10.5281/zenodo.270862</relation><relation>doi:10.5281/zenodo.270856</relation><relation>doi:10.5281/zenodo.270857</relation><relation>doi:10.5281/zenodo.270866</relation><relation>doi:10.5281/zenodo.270858</relation><relation>url:http://zoobank.org/3D0D79C2-2583-47F4-BC01-5CF347614B44</relation><relation>doi:10.5281/zenodo.6077754</relation><relation>url:https://zenodo.org/communities/biosyslit</relation><rights>info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess</rights><rights>https://creativecommons.org/publicdomain/zero/1.0/legalcode</rights><source>A taxonomic synopsis of South American Cyanogomphini Carle with description of Cyanogomphus angelomachadoi sp. nov. from the Cerrado of Brazil (Odonata: Gomphidae) in Zootaxa 4078(1)</source><subject>Biodiversity</subject><subject>Taxonomy</subject><subject>Animalia</subject><subject>Arthropoda</subject><subject>Insecta</subject><subject>Odonata</subject><subject>Gomphidae</subject><subject>Tibiagomphus</subject><subject>Tibiagomphus noval</subject><title>Tibiagomphus noval Rodrigues Capitulo 1985</title><type>Other:info:eu-repo/semantics/other</type><type>Other:publication-taxonomictreatment</type><recordID>6077755</recordID></dc>

Larva. Rodrigues Capítulo (1985, p. 332) based on specimens reared in laboratory. Diagnosis. This pale species, as well as T. uncatus, can be separated from Cyanogomphus spp. except C. comparabilis by the mesepisternum close to the dorsal carina largely pale (dark in C. angelomachadoi sp. nov. and C. waltheri, Figs 1, 10 A–B, D, 11 A, C). The narrow cornet-like distal portion of V 4 in ventral view (Fig. 6 G, maximum width <0.6 of V 3 width vs.> 0.75 in Cyanogomphus, Figs 6 B, E), blade-like cercus distinctly flattened with apex directed posteriorly (Figs 7 J–L, 8 G–H, cercus cylindrical, curved toward to the upturned tapered apex in Cyanogomphus, Figs 7 A–I, 8 A–F), the dorsally smooth epiproct, lacking a distal concavity on the epiproct (Figs 8 H, epiproct with a distal concavity in Cyanogomphus, Figs 8 B, D, F) of males, and subtriangular, long subgenital plate (length> 0.5 of S 9) with a narrow and deep mesal incision (Fig. 9 E, subgenital plate short, length <0.4 of S 9, not incised, with a wide V- or U-shaped posteromesal concavity in Cyanogomphus, Figs 9 A–D) of females, separates both species of Tibiagomphus from all Cyanogomphus. Both sexes of T. noval can be distinguished from it sibling congener T. uncatus by its paler generally yellowish color (Figs 10 E, 11 D, distinctly darker in T. uncatus, Fig. 10 F), and by dorsally pale metathoracic tibia and tarsus (Fig. 3 C, dark in T. uncatus, Fig. 3 D). The posterior hamule varies greatly, being longer and slender with the “heel” distinctly less pronounced in T. noval (Figs 4 E, 5 F–H, shorter and stouter in T. uncatus with a more pronounced “heel”, Figs 4 F, 5 I –L), male cercus robust (Figs 7 G, 8 G–H, ratio cercus length / maximum width 0.30–0.36 vs. more slender, 0.25–0.30 in T. uncatus, Figs 7 M, 8 I –J). Further, the smaller size of T. noval (male Hw length 24.7–26.3 vs. 26.8–29.7 of T. uncatus) and allopatric distribution, with T. noval occurring in biogeographical Pampean province of Chacoan dominion and T. uncatus in Araucaria and Parana Forest provinces in Parana dominion (Fig. 13), separate these two species. Distribution. From Rio Grande do Sul State, Brazil, and Entre Rios Province, Argentina south to Florida Department, Uruguay; an inhabitant of the Pampean biogeographical province (Fig. 13). Biological and ecological data. Adults are found in lotic environments such as riffles and deep zones in slow streams surrounded by gallery forest, where adults perch in protected sites, from sea level to 107 meters of elevation. Larvae are shallow burrowers and were found with some adhered detritus (Rodrigues Capítulo 1985). Remarks. The typification by Rodrigues Capítulo (1985) is misleading and imprecise. In describing C. noval he designated an adult male emerged in the laboratory as holotype without mention of its exuvia (Rodrigues Capítulo 1985, p. 329). Furthermore, the other cited specimens, an adult female and six larvae, were not designated as paratypes, therefore this meets the requirement that “expressly excludes them from the type series” (ICZN 1999, Art. 72.4.6), even though an allotype was mentioned in the abstract. The subsequent citation of the female as allotype by Muzón et al. (2007) should be considered an invalid nomenclatural act. The date of publication of all papers in that volume is stated to be 1984, but the cover states 1985. For this reason, without further investigation, we follow Garrison et al. (2006) considering 1985 as the correct year of publication, while the respective day and month still are pending. Except by the paler color (“pardo amarillenta”), all characters mentioned by Rodrigues Capítulo (1985, p. 329–332) are not diagnostic of T. noval in accordance with its new status recognized here, and his characters should be considered as examples of individual variation, as they are shared with some T. uncatus. Rodrigues Capítulo (1985) provided no diagnosis, instead comparing a few selected characters with T. uncatus as follows: (1) anterior margin of the postfrons in dorsal view sinuous with a small mesal convexity, while in T. uncatus it is entirely convex; (2) male S 9 with a V-shaped mesodorsal invagination vs. lacking invagination in T. uncatus; (3) spines along posterior carina of S 9 extend downward two-thirds of the segment height in the male vs. only over dorsal surface in T. uncatus; (4) posterior margin of male epiproct almost straight vs. ovoid in T. uncatus; (5) female distal margin of sternites of S 9–10 distinct from T. uncatus. The shape of the anterior margin of the postfrons (character 1) is variable, specimens of T. noval collected from the same site and day showing either a small mesal convexity (Fig. 5 B) or regularly convex postfrons (Fig. 5 A) such as illustrated for the holotype of T. uncatus by Rodrigues Capítulo (1985, fig. 1). Additionally, variation in the postfrons in T. uncatus also shows a slightly mesal projection along the anterior margin of postfrons (Figs 5 C–D). A small mesodorsal invagination in S 9 (character 2) is common to all Cyanogomphini including T. uncatus (Figs 7 B, E, H, K, N). We did not find the shape of invagination to be a diagnostic character. The distribution of spines along S 9 (character 3) also is variable among specimens, and in both T. noval and T. uncatus they can extend down two-thirds of the segment height (see Figs 7 J, M). This variation might have lead J. Belle to misidentify some T. noval as T. uncatus because they had the spines extending to the ventral half. Even though in T. noval the distal margin of the epiproct (character 4) appears be straighter than that of T. uncatus (Figs 7 J, L, M, O, 8 G–J), it is not ovoid in T. uncatus, and this structure is similar for both species. Finally, character 5 on female sternites of S 9–10 cannot be verified, as differences were not depicted. Although Rodrigues Capítulo (1985) borrowed the holotype of T. uncatus, he adopted the illustrations by Fraser (1947) for his comparisons, possibly due to the poor condition of the holotype (S 4–10 lost, see Belle 1980). The males from municipalities of Guaíba and Pelotas were determined as T. noval, while a couple from Jaguarão municipality, all from Rio Grande do Sul State, Brazil, were determined as T. uncatus by J. Belle in 1992.
