Locality: PT06 (Fig. 1).
Examined Material: 1 specimen (sub-adult). TL 284,5 Μm; FL 10,3 Μm; AL 110 Μm; PhL 68 Μm; MD 15 Μm; DR 50; TSl 3Μm; TSw 3Μm; TSp 16Μm; DSL 14 , 3 Μm; CL 110; SCA. 26 .
Remarks: Elongated body with three-lobed head. Cephalion well developed and large transverse concave bar-shaped hypostomium. Long furca with ornamented adhesive tubes divided into 26 segments. Dorsal and ventral body surface covered by simple spined small scales, with similar shape across the body. Ventral ciliation in two longitudinal bands connected posteriorly to the hypostomium by transverse ciliary band. The single specimen features the distinctive adhesive tubes of the genus Polymerurus , extremely long and adorned with smooth scales, giving the aspect of segments, but for being a single juvenile specimen, it is impossible to determine further putatively related to a known species nor feature distinctive features to indicate to be an undescribed species.
Distribution: Brazil: Casa Nova (BA; present study).
