In 1994, I was unable to define the species more precisely. So, at that time all material was provisionally placed under the taxon Trilophus interpunctatus (Putzeys), and the need for revision of the group noted (Balkenohl 1994).
MaterialThanks to the kindness of many curators and private collectors it was possible to base this investigation on 944 Trilophus specimens out of about 80 populations. The material consists of the available type material as well as material of different expeditions carried out between the beginning of this century and 1996. Although collected at many and very different localities of the Oriental region from north-west Pakistan toBali, the study is incomplete due to the limited material and the spotty collecting. For some populations of a species only a few specimens were available and in few cases only one specimen was available at all.Old type material is distributed over various public collections. Most of these specimens could be located and in addition, material seen by Putzeys and Andrewes. As usually, old type material consisted of syntypes. For this material a lectotype and paralectotype(s) have been designated and redescriptions performed for all of these species.Most of the old type material bears several labels. All label information is listed for each of those specimens. Because I could not decide in some cases which of the different locality spelling is valid, all information given on labels was listed as it appears on the labels. If the genitalia of old type material were prepared this was performed specimen by specimen to avoid any possibility of confusion of labels. The original pins have been reused and if possible the old paper cards have been gluedadditionally to the pins. This was done to keep all information available for future investigation.
The new species Ardistomis ferreirai sp. nov. is described and illustrated. Some specific characters are discussed together with a possible correlation to the species subterranean way of life. Available ecological data and recordings are provided by description of the caves and the specific threats to the caves are indicated.
