AE676339FFCE9F4B29BA3C3B870DFAD5.taxon	description	Justification of synonymy Schubart (1962) described two species, Erythrocricus sanguineostriatus and E. miniatostriatus, both similar in body pattern and gonopods structure. Despite the similarities, both species present variations in the red coloration on body rings wich in E. sanguineostriatus is present dorsally and in E. miniatostriatus dorsally and ventrolaterally. Our examination of the type species revealed that there is no significant difference either in external morphology or the structure of the gonopods between the species. Still, during examination of fresh specimens, we observed that the differences in the red coloration, seems to reflect only intraspecific variation.	en	Rodrigues, Patrícia Elesbão Silva, Rodrigues, Everton Nei Lopes (2021): Taxonomic review of the genus Erythrocricus Schubart, 1962 (Diplopoda, Spirobolida, Rhinocricidae).
