Diagnosis
Males of P. alata sp. nov. can be distinguished from those of all other species of Pseudonannolene by having a large, rounded projection on the telopodite (Fig. 146D).
Etymology
The species epithet is derived from the Latin adjective ‘ alata ’ = ‘winged’, in reference to the ectal projection on the telopodite.

Description
MEASUREMENTS. 53–55 body rings (1–2 apodous + telson). Males: body length 43.8–64.8 mm; maximum midbody diameter 3.2–4.5 mm. Females: body length 56.5–72.2 mm; maximum midbody diameter 4–5.4 mm.
COLOR. Body color brownish grey; head and collum darker; prozonites anteriorly greyish; metazonites with a medial band darker and a posterior reddish; antennae and legs reddish.
HEAD. Antennae short (Fig. 163C), just reaching back to end of ring 5 when extended dorsally; relative antennomere lengths 1<2<3>4≈5≈6>7. Mandibular cardo with ventral margin narrow. Ommatidial cluster well-developed, elliptical; ca 40 ommatidia in 6 rows.
BODY RINGS. Collum with lateral lobes rounded, with ca 6 deep striae, strongly curved ectad (Fig. 145A). Very faintly constricted between prozonite and metazonite; prozonites smooth; metazonites laterally with transverse striae below ozopore. Anterior sterna in midbody rings subrectangular, without transverse striae (Fig. 175B).
FIRST LEG-PAIR OF MALES. Coxae (cx) elongated (as long as the sum of remaining podomere lengths), subtriangular, with the base slightly arched and expanded, densely setose mainly on distal region (Fig. 146A); prefemoral process (prf) as wide as half of prefemur, subcylindrical, densely setose along in its entire extension (Fig. 146B); remaining podomeres with setae along the mesal region.
SECOND LEG-PAIR OF MALES. Coxa (cx) large and subrectangular; penis (pn) located at proximal region, rounded, not extended basally (Fig. 146C); prefemur compressed dorsoventrally; remaining podomeres setose.
GONOPODS. Gonocoxa (gcx) elongated, almost twice as long as telopodite, with the base slightly arched; antero-posteriorly flattened (Fig. 146D–F); with rows of papillae mesally. Seminal groove (sg) curved; arising medially on mesal cavity and terminating apically on the seminal apophysis (sa). Shoulder (sh) inconspicuous. Telopodite (tp) almost as wide as gcx (Figs 146D, 215B), with large and rounded laterad projection; solenomere (sl) expanded laterad, rounded, with apicomesal process (amp) subtriangular; ectal process absent; sa located at mesal portion, visible apically. Internal branch (ib) subtriangular, narrow, surrounding basally tp as a shield; ib with setae along its entire margin nearly exceeding apically seminal region of sl (Fig. 146D–F).
VULVAE. As typical for the genus. Bursa subtriangular, glabrous (Fig. 179K); internal valve subtriangular, mesally rounded; operculum narrow, curved ectad, slightly compressed basally; external valve subtriangular.
Distribution
Known only from the type locality Ilha do Arvoredo, Florianópolis, Santa Catarina State, Brazil (Fig. 190).
