Abstract
Pseudochthonius ramalhosp. nov. is described to Gruna do Vandercir cave, in the Serra do Ramalho karst area, southwestern Bahia, Brazil. This area has an extensive limestone outcrop, with several caves, and the occurrence of potential minerals that are financially attractive for mining projects. The new species shows troglomorphic characteristics such as the depigmentation of the carapace and absence or reduction of eyes. It is a rare troglobitic species, and following the criteria of IUCN, we categorized the species as Critically Endangered – CR, IUCN criteria B1ab(iii)+2ab(iii). According to Brazilian legislation, locations, where critically endangered species live, can be protected by law, and we consider this cave/region to be of maximal relevance for protection.
巴西Serra do Ramalho喀斯特地区首个穴居假蝎子(Pseudochthonius Balzan, 1892):濒危物种
假石斑鱼。nov.被描述为Gruna do Vandercir洞穴，位于巴西巴伊亚西南部的Serra do Ramalho喀斯特地区。该地区有一个广泛的石灰岩露头，有几个洞穴，并且存在对采矿项目具有经济吸引力的潜在矿产。该新物种表现出虫形特征，如外壳褪色、眼睛缺失或缩小。它是一种罕见的三球虫物种，根据国际自然保护联盟的标准，我们将该物种归类为极度濒危物种-CR，国际自然保护协会的标准为B1ab（iii）+2ab（iii）。根据巴西立法，极度濒危物种生活的地方可以受到法律保护，我们认为这个洞穴/地区与保护关系最大。
期刊介绍：
Subterranean Biology is an international journal published by Pensoft on behalf of the International Society for Subterranean Biology [SIBIOS-ISSB] for the publication of original and significant contributions on all aspects of subterranean life. The Journal will consider original scientific papers dealing with any aspect of subterranean ecosystems and their components focusing on biology, ecology, evolution and conservation. Reviews and Commentaries: The journal welcomes review articles on aspects of subterranean biology. They should be submitted in the same way as research articles but use a simple layout with no more than three levels of headings. Commentaries on previous matter published in the journal may be also considered. Both reviews and commentaries will be reviewed. Book Reviews: Reviews of books, symposia volumes and conferences pertinent to the journal are welcome. The journal publishes electronic versions of the articles when these are ready to publish, without delays that might be caused by completion of an issue. These electronic versions are not "pre-prints" but final and immutable (Version of Record), hence available for the purposes of biological nomenclature. The date indicated on the electronic version is to be considered the actual publication date.
