“…Diagnosis. The shell shape of the new species closely resembles subterranean species belonging to family Pomatiopsidae from Laos (Tricula valenasi Grego, 2018 and Tricula spelea Grego, 2018), and the fine fragile faintly corrugated aperture margin is reminiscent of some cave dwelling specimens of pomatiopsid Spiripockia punctata (Simone 2012) from Brazil. However, the geographical distance and absence of pomatiopsid species hitherto known from the Yucatán region rather suggest the resemblance in the shell shape of a cochliopid species.…”

The biospeleological investigations of several cenotes in the eastern region of Yucatán state, Mexico, during January 2018 yielded, among other invertebrates, two new truncatelloid gastropod species described herein as Mexicenoticaxochiigen. n. et sp. n. and Pyrgophorusthompsonisp. n. Both species represent the first record of stygobiont gastropod species from the cenotes of Yucatán indicating the high biodiversity potential of the studied area.

“…The South American non-marine rissooideans/trucatelloideans have usually proven to have a high level of endemicity, being sometimes endemic of a single cave (e.g., Simone & Moracchioli, 1994;Simone, 2012), a small stretch of a river or from a lake (e.g., Simone & Rolán, 2021). This appears also to be the case of H. brucutu sp.…”

The prey of a recent described characid fish, so far endemic of the small lake Pratinha (Iraquara, Bahia, Brazil), a small (~2.5 mm) lentic gastropod, revealed to be a new (possible endemic) species. It is herein formally described as Heleobia brucutu sp. nov. The description includes anatomical features, revealing interesting idiosyncrasies such as egg laying attached to shell, and penis lacking glands, but with terminal papilla. The new species appears to be endemic of that small lake as much as its fish predator. As the species is now formally described and named, protective efforts must be implemented.

“…The native vegetation consists of Caatinga, interspersed with Cerrado (savannah‐like) vegetation. The Serra do Ramalho karst area is a spot of high subterranean biodiversity, both aquatic (Bichuette & Trajano, ; Mattox et al ., ; Bichuette & Rizzato, ; Simone, ) and terrestrial (e.g. Baptista & Giupponi, ; Trajano & Bichuette, ).…”

Terrestrial isopods (Crustacea: Isopoda: Oniscidea) from Brazilian caves

et al. 2014

To date, six species of terrestrial isopods were known from Brazilian caves, but only four could be classified as troglobites. This article deals with material of Oniscidea collected in many Brazilian karst caves in the states of Pará, Bahia, Minas Gerais, Mato Grosso do Sul, and São Paulo, and deposited in the collections of the Museu de Zoologia, Universidade de São Paulo, the Coleção de Carcinologia do Departamento de Zoologia, Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Sul, and the collection of the Natural History Museum, Section of Zoology ‘La Specola’, Florence. Three new genera have been recognized: Spelunconiscus gen. nov. and Xangoniscus gen. nov. (Styloniscidae), and Leonardoscia gen. nov. (Philosciidae). Twenty‐two species have been identified, 11 of which in the families Styloniscidae, Philosciidae, Scleropactidae, Plathyartridae, Dubioniscidae, and Armadillidae are new to science: Leonardoscia hassalli sp. nov., Metaprosekia quadriocellata sp. nov., Metaprosekia caupe sp. nov., Amazoniscus leistikowi sp. nov., Novamundoniscus altamiraensis sp. nov., Trichorhina yiara sp. nov., Trichorhina curupira sp. nov., and Ctenorillo ferrarai sp. nov. from Pará; Xangoniscus aganju sp. nov. from Bahia; and Spelunconiscus castroi sp. nov. and Trichorhina anhanguera sp. nov. from Minas Gerais. Four new species in the families Styloniscidae (Spelunconiscus castroi sp. nov. and Xangoniscus aganju sp. nov.), Philosciidae (Leonardoscia hassalli sp. nov.), and Scleropactidae (Amazoniscus leistikowi sp. nov.) with highly troglomorphic traits can be considered as troglobitic, whereas all the remaining species are either troglophilic or accidentals. Brazilian caves are now under potential threat because of recent legislation, and the knowledge of the subterranean biodiversity of the country is thus of primary importance. © 2014 The Linnean Society of London
