  Paraputo nasai comes closest to Paraputo colombiensis, another species with translucent pores on the hind femur and tibia and with a circulus present. Paraputo nasai. differs from P. colombiensis (character states in parenthesis) in having oral collar tubular ducts of two distinct sizes (oral collar ducts of one size only); multilocular disc pores on abdominal segment IVvand posterior segments (present on abdominal segment VI and posterior segments); dorsal setae of uniform length over the entire surface (dorsal setae of two sizes, the shorter ones present from head to abdominal segment III, the longer ones present on abdominal segment VI and posterior segments); number of conical cerarian setae progressively reduced anteriorly, from 6-12 setae in each of C1 to C6, to 2-3 setae in C7 to C18 (conical setae number constant amongst all the cerarii, with 4-6 setae per cerarius); and conical setae absent from marginal intercerarian spaces (conical setae present in marginal intercerarian spaces) (Caballero, 2021)

• Structure: Slide-mounted adult female body oval to round, length 1.9 ± 0.3 [1.9] (1.5-2.4) mm; wide 1.4 ± 0.3 [1.4] (1.1-1.9) mm. .Cerarii numbering 16 pairs; dorsal setae short, each 7-19 μm long; oral collar tubular ducts of two sizes, the smaller ones each with a diameter similar to a trilocular pore and the larger ones each with a diameter wider than that of a trilocular pore; anal bar absent; anal ring with 6 setae.
