(Spinicaudata: Leptestheriidae) was collected for the first time from Brazil. This species was found during a study on temporary pools in the municipality of Palmas de Monte Alto in Bahia state, which is in the Caatinga climatic zone. A morphological description of this new species is presented and compared with other known South American species. Our new species differs from the other described species by the form of the head and the telson. The associated fauna is comparable to what was observed by Gurney in 1931 in Paraguay or by Roessler in 1995 in Colombia, indicating possible connections between the dry regions of South America.
（叶足目：薄甲蚌虫科）首次从巴西采集到。该物种是在对巴伊亚州帕尔马斯·德蒙特阿尔托市临时水塘的一项研究中发现的，该市位于卡廷加气候区。本文给出了该新物种的形态描述，并与其他已知的南美物种进行了比较。我们的新物种在头部和尾节的形态上与其他已描述的物种不同。其伴生动物群与1931年格尼在巴拉圭或1995年罗斯勒在哥伦比亚所观察到的相似，这表明南美干旱地区之间可能存在联系。
