Justification of synonymy
The ontogeny of the gonopods of Pseudonannolene is gradual, with morphological changes not abrupt during the development (see gonopod ontogeny in Pseudonannolene in the previous sections). Pseudonannolene microzoporus was described based on a male immature, considering the number of ommatidia (Fig. 97A), apodous body rings (Fig. 97B), and first leg-pair not fully developed (Mauriès 1987: figs 23–25). The remaining species are described based on adult males, although with a slight difference in the form of the internal branch and solenomere. Through the examination of the type material of all these nominal species and extensive samplings from localities where the species have been recorded, we conclude that they are junior subjective synonyms of P. microzoporus, and their morphological differences just intraspecific variations since the populations are widely distributed across a huge Karst area (Fig. 185).
Diagnosis
Males of P. microzoporus resemble those of P. imbirensis and P. leopoldoi by having a solenomere with an ectal process deeply notched separating it from the apicomesal process (Figs 35A–B, 96D, 211C); but differing of P. imbirensis by the having body color brownish grey, head, collum, and antennae darker (Fig. 95A), and differing of P. leopoldoi by having the internal branch curved ectad at midlength (Fig. 96D–F).
Etymology
Referring to the small size of the ozopores of the types (Mauriès 1987).

Very faintly constricted between prozonite and metazonite; prozonites smooth; metazonites laterally with transverse striae up to ozopore in anterior body rings. Anterior sterna in midbody rings subrectangular, without transverse striae (Fig. 170E).
FIRST LEG-PAIR OF MALES. Coxae (cx) short (less than half of remaining podomere lengths), subtriangular, with the base arched and expanded, densely setose (Figs 30B, 96A); prefemoral process (prf) about as wide as half of prefemur, subcylindrical, densely setose up to its median region (Fig. 96B); remaining podomeres with setae along the mesal region.

Seminal groove (sg) curved; arising medially on mesal cavity and terminating apically on the seminal apophysis (sa). Shoulder (sh) rounded. Telopodite (tp) almost as wide as gcx (Fig. 96D); solenomere (sl) with apicomesal process (amp) subtriangular; ectal process (ep) subtriangular, separating from amp by deep notch; sa located at mesal portion, slightly visible apically. Internal branch (ib) subtriangular, narrow, slightly curved ectad at midlength, surrounding basally tp as a shield; with torsion of 180° in the distal portion but without projection; ib with setae along its entire margin slightly exceeding apically seminal region of sl (Figs 96D–F, 211C).
VULVAE. As typical for the genus. Bursa subtriangular, glabrous (Figs 39D, 178D, 210B); internal valve subtriangular, with mesal region slightly rounded; operculum narrow (Fig. 39D); external valve wide, subtriangular (Fig. 39A).
Distribution
The species is widely distributed in caves and surrounding forests from the Karst province of the Bambuí Group and from iron ore formations in the Minas Gerais State, Brazil (Fig. 185). The species is also associated to partially anthropized karst areas in Minas Gerais.
