“…Because of these efforts, and the fact that they allow access into an otherwise-inaccessible ecosystem, some artesian wells are associated with unique and high species diversity. Increasing our knowledge of groundwater species abundance and diversity, along with the biogeographic and ecologic processes that have contributed to observed diversity patterns, can support sound conservation activities and policies (Lopez et al, 2017).…”

Cabralcandonini tribe n., with the type genus Cabralcandona gen. n. from an artesian well in the San Marcos, Texas (U.S.A.) and six other genera from karst aquifers in Texas, is proposed as a new tribe of the subfamily Candoninae (Candonidae) (Crustacea, Ostracoda). The new tribe and genus have morphological features that distinguish them from other members of the subfamily. The most diagnostic characteristics of the type genus are (1) two horn-like structures developed on the antero-and postero-dorsal margins of the left valve, (2) numbers of central muscle scars, (3) hexagonal or pentagonal (honeycomb-like) ornamentation on the subrectangular shaped carapace, (4) four segmented second antenna in both sexes, (5) absence of an exopod on A2, (6) shape and size of Y aesthetasc, (7) absence of e, f and g setae on cleaning leg, (8) flagellum (whip-like) uropod morphology, (9) shape of hemipenis, and (10) reduction in number of segments and setae on other limbs. Taxonomic keys for the tribes of the subfamily Candoninae including Cabralcandonini tribe n. are presented.

Copepods have successfully penetrated the groundwater realm through a series of morphological diversifications and adaptations. Research on this taxon has increased over the past decade because of its potential in revealing the status of groundwater environmental health and biodiversity. Despite efforts in documenting this group in other regions, groundwater copepods in South-East Asia remain barely studied. To date, only 47 species belonging to 22 genera from Harpacticoida, Cyclopoida and Calanoida have been documented from groundwater and groundwater-dependent habitats across the region. The steep species accumulation curve from 1980 up to the present indicates a high possibility of discovering more new species. Spatial distribution shows high local endemicity than regional scales, where some species considered to be rare and endemic were actually common in local habitats. Overall, the low number of records in the region is because of the lack of experts and limited accessibility to groundwater and dependent ecosystems, like aquifers and groundwater wells. A more intensive effort in documenting the diversity and distribution of groundwater copepods and building collaborations between experts in the region is highly needed. This information is important in drafting future conservation and management policies for the groundwater resources in the region.
