Many species of the genus have description of the female imago (e.g., T. alapictus Mariano &amp; Lima in Lima et al. 2013; T. amanda Mariano &amp; Froehlich in Mariano et al. 2011; T. bonito Gonçalves, Da-Silva &amp; Nessimian in Gonçalves et al. 2013; and T. pinga Souto, Da-Silva &amp; Nessimian in Souto et al. 2014). The female of T. itatiajanus is similar to the female of T. alapictus due to the general color pattern, large body length and marks on the legs, mainly on the tibiae with an apical mark and tarsi with the last tarsal segment and claw tinged with dark marks. However, the female of T. itatiajanus is easily distinguished from T. alapictus by the following characteristics: T. alapictus has abdomen color dark brown without translucent segments, sterna without marks and legs color pattern without band; while T. itatiajanus has translucent segments (after oviposition), sterna II–VI with a curved row of two small dark dots that almost meet medially, and femur of all legs with an apical band.</p> </div>	http://treatment.plazi.org/id/0380F427FFAE44798587C6D0056DFE56	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

LENGTH (mm). Body: 5.1–6.0; caudal filaments: 7.5.</p> <p>General coloration light brown. Head. Upper portion of male compound eye orangish, lower portion black; ocelli dark gray; small light brown spot between eyes, ocelli and base of antenna. Labrum three times wider than long; wider than clypeus; anterior margin with five subtle denticles (Figs. 12a–b). Mandibles with outer margin with long, thin setae on distal half and without setae on basal half (Figs. 12c and 12e). Maxilla light brown; segments I and II of maxillary palp with few, simple setae on outer margin (these setae are eventually absent in some specimens), segment III with short setae, more abundant apically on outer margin; segment II with few, short, stout setae on apical inner margin and segment III with stout setae on inner margin (Fig. 12f and 12h).

Terga I–V with pair of submedian dark brown spots near posterior margins and pair of midway, dark brown spots near anterior margins, one on each side (Fig. 11). Sterna yellowish white. Caudal filaments yellowish with dark brown annulations. Gills gray, broad and tapering toward apex, with main trachea strongly pigmented and unbranched (Fig. 15).</p> <p>Life cycle associations. Nymphs were associated with the imagos because they were found in the same localities and share the same abdominal color pattern of the male imago, especially the submedial marks (see Figure 2 in Souto et al. 2014 and Figures 11 and 27 of the present study).</p> <p>Biology. Thraulodes luisae has been found in sites between 50–2000 meters above sea level (Souto et al. 2014 and present study). The nymphs were found in rivers with low to moderate currents and in different substrates, such as leaf litter, leaf litter accumulated in ponds, sand, gravel or under submerged stones and pebbles, and in riparian vegetation. This is the most common and widely distributed species of the genus in the state of Espírito Santo. Thraulodes luisae was found in sympatry with T. itatiajanus at sites in the Caparaó National Park.</p> <p>Distribution. São Paulo.

Nymphs of T. luisae resemble those of T. bonito and T. borun due to the general abdominal color pattern, mainly the marks of the terga. Both species have a pair of dark brown spots on the sublateral region of the terga, one on each side, distributed as follow: T. luisae on terga I–V; T. bonito on terga I–VII and T. borun on terga II–VI. The gills of these species have the main trachea strongly pigmented and unbranched. Nevertheless, the nymph of T. luisae can be distinguished from the others two species by the terga I–V with a pair of submedian, dark brown spots close to posterior margin; in T. borun the terga II–VI has single posteromedial dark mark, while in T. bonito the terga II–VII have diffuse and poorly defined median mark. Moreover, the number of denticles on the tarsal claw differs among the three species: T. luisae has 7; T. borun has –9; and T. bonito has 11.</p> </div>	http://treatment.plazi.org/id/0380F427FFAA447B8587C63D0574F882	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

The new species has an abdominal coloration commonly found in several species of Thraulodes, with some segments whitish or translucent. This can be found in species such as T. calori Campos &amp; Mariano in Campos &amp; Mariano (2019); T. sternimaculatus Lima, Mariano &amp; Pinheiros in Lima et al. (2013); T. rodrigoi Boldrini, Dantas &amp; Lima in Boldrini et al. (201); and T. sinuosus Mariano &amp; Flowers in Mariano et al. (2011). Among the species in the genus, T. alegre sp. nov. appears more similar to T. bonito because both have similar marks on the first abdominal segments. However, in T. alegre sp. nov., these marks are rectangular and are located near the posterior margins of terga II–VI; whereas in T. bonito these marks are diffuse, poorly defined and are located medially on terga II–VI. Furthermore, the genitalia of these two species are distinct: in the new species the penes and spines are longer than that in T. bonito (see Figure 5 in Gonçalves et al. 2013 and Figures 1 and 19 of the present study).</p> </div>	http://treatment.plazi.org/id/0380F427FFA744778587C14400B9F868	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.
