“…Since the revision, ten contributions were made to the taxonomy of the genus, including the transfer and redescription of Alpaida tullgreni (Caporiacco, 1955) (Levi, 1993), the description of five males and one female of species previously known only from one sex (Buckup & Meyer, 1993;Rodrigues & Mendonça, 2011), and the description of 12 new species (Abrahim & Bonaldo, 2008;Santos & Santos, 2010;Buckup & Rodrigues, 2011;Braga-Pereira & Santos, 2013;Deza & Andia, 2014;Dierkens, 2014;Saturnino et al, 2015). In this paper we described a new species of Alpaida based on both sexes.…”
