Although the arachnids of the order Palpigradi are very common in subterranean habitats, no species has yet been recorded from siliciclastic caves. During a survey of cave invertebrates conducted in quartizitic caves in southern Minas Gerais state (Brazil), the occurrence of a new troglobitic palpigrade was revealed. Accordingly, in this paper we describe Eukoenenia ibitipoca sp. nov. which is readily distinguished from most species of this genus by the presence of eight pairs of setae on propeltidium.
虽然触肢螨目蛛形纲动物在地下生境中非常常见,但尚未有硅质碎屑洞穴中记录到该目的任何物种。在对巴西米纳斯吉拉斯州南部石英质洞穴中的洞穴无脊椎动物进行调查时,发现了一种新的穴居触肢螨。因此,在本文中我们描述了新物种伊比蒂波卡真科内尼亚螨,它与该属的大多数物种很容易区分,因为其前背板上有八对刚毛。
