Popis: Neocarus platensis Silvestri 1905 (Figures 3–5) Material examined. Lectotype F (UNINA), ARGENTINA, Misiones, Posadas, coll. F. Silvestri, ex. under stones, 27.MAY.1899. There is no information about the coordinates or specific location. Paralectotypes. Same data as for the lectotype: F (UNINA), M (UNINA). Remarks. The type material was evaluated by Araújo et al. (2020) as syntypes: 5 M, TN/M (UNINA). URUGUAY, Salto, Salto, La Sierra, 27.MAY.1899, coll. F. Silvestri, under stones; 3 F (UNINA), M (UNINA), ARGENTINA, Misiones, Posadas, same data and collector. Diagnosis. Male pregenital area with 6 stout ribbed setae and genital area with 5 acute smooth setae. Female with no pregenital and genital setae.

Description Based on female (N = 2) and male (N = 1). IDIOSOMA. Distinct segmentation; integument corniculate; dorsal segments between prodorsal shield and preanal segments without setae, but with numerous lyrifissures arranged in transverse rows; with four pairs of dorsal stigmata without peritremes; anus positioned terminally. Prodorsal shield (Figure 3A). With rounded area anteriorly; without dense patch; with 2 pairs of dorsolateral eyes; 2 pairs of lyrifissures, one close to apical part and other smaller close to first pair of eyes; female with 140–142 and male with>100 (not clearly distinguishable) stout ribbed setae. Preanal region (Figures 3D, E). Segment XVI without setae; preanal segment XVII with a single dorsal and a pair of lateroventral stout ribbed setae. Anal valves (Figures 3D, E).

Pregenital area. Female without setae. Male with 6 stout ribbed setae. Each pregenital capsules in both adults with a ribbed, smooth tapering setae (st5); female with 4–6 and male with 5 stout ribbed setae. Genital area. Female without setae, but with 4–10 smooth eugenital setae. Male genital area trapezoid with 5 acute smooth setae; Ovipositor. Consisting of a tube-shaped structure; slightly striated; without digitiform or seta-like projections; large basal structures; terminal setae; gland-like structures or accessory glands. Male glands. 2 pairs of glands, one larger and one smaller, without reel-like structures. GNATHOSOMA. Chelicera (Figures 4B, D). Both adults presenting chelicera basal segment with 1 seta ( cht 1 ); normal size; and denticulate paraxial surface; fixed digit with 3 dorsal setae ( ch 1, ch 2, ch 3 ) and id and iα lyrifissures; well-developed hook; movable digit with 1 ventral denticle; lateral denticle absent; ogc present. Subcapitulum (Figures 4A, C). Both adults with paralabial setae present; pl1 conical, obtuse, inserted between cb 2 and cb 3 ; pl2 (With’s organ); discoid, marginally barbed; pl3 (rutella) inserted dorsolaterally; with distinct row of 5 teeth; pl4 tiny, conical, inserted dorsally near base of pl3; all 4 pairs of circumbuccal setae (cb) with bifurcate tips; cb 4 equal size of other cb setae; lateral lips with distinct canals (dl1, dl2) and their orifices (ogl1, ogl2). Female with 2 rounded tip setae; 5–7 pairs of pointed setae (vm, lvm, vp, lvp) and 1 ldm seta; male with 1 rounded tip seta; 5 pairs of pointed setae (vm, lvm, vp, lvp) and 1 ldm seta.
