The Neotropical genus Atanatolica includes 17 species distributed from Costa Rica to Brazil, but only two, A. brasiliana and A. flinti, have been recorded from Brazil, both occurring in Rio de Janeiro and São Paulo States. A new species, Atanatolica bonita n. sp., is described and illustrated based on males and females from the Atlantic Forest in Bahia State in northeastern Brazil. The new species can be diagnosed by the following characters: Apicomesal and apicolateral processes of segment X of same length, long and digitate; and second article of each inferior appendage well developed, long, and thumb-shaped. Notes on demographic changes and correlations with seasonal variation and precipitation are also given.
新热带界的阿塔纳托利卡属包含17个物种，分布于从哥斯达黎加至巴西的区域，但仅有两个物种，即巴西阿塔纳托利卡和弗林特阿塔纳托利卡，在巴西有记录，二者均出现在里约热内卢州和圣保罗州。基于采自巴西东北部巴伊亚州大西洋森林的雄性和雌性个体，描述并图示了一个新物种——美丽阿塔纳托利卡新种。该新物种可通过以下特征进行鉴别：第十腹节的腹侧突和侧突长度相同，长且呈指状；每个肛附器的第二节发育良好，长且呈拇指状。文中还给出了关于种群变化以及与季节变化和降水相关性的说明。
