A new species of Cryptocellus (Arachnida: Ricinulei) from Eastern Amazonia

Cryptocellus canga sp. nov. is described from specimens collected in several caves at Carajás National Forest, Pará, Brazil. The new species differs from other species of the genus by the morphology of copulatory apparatus of the male leg III.
