A Survey of Eyeless Pseudosinella Schäffer, 1897 (Collembola: Entomobryidae) From Brazil Reveals a New Cave‐Dwelling Species From Minas Gerais State

Austral Entomology, Volume 65, Issue 3, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Herein, a new species of Pseudosinella is described from Minas Gerais State, Brazil. This was possible after reanalysing six species similar to the new species: Pseudosinella alfanjeunguiculata Bellini, Cipola & Souza; Pseudosinella aphelabiata Bellini, Cipola & Souza; Pseudosinella diamantinensis Bellini, Cipola & Souza, 2020; Pseudosinella ...

Turning to the dark side: Evolutionary history and mole adcular species delimitation of a troglomorphic lineage of armoured harvestman (Opiliones: Stygnopsidae)

, 2019
From a biological point of view, caves are one of the most exciting environments on Earth, considered as evolutionary laboratories due to the adaptive traits (troglomorphisms) usually exhibited by the fauna that inhabit them.

The first known troglomorphic, eyeless spider wasp (Hymenoptera: Pompilidae): Troglopompilus miracaecatus gen. et sp. nov. from the Nullarbor Caves, Western Australia

Austral Entomology, Volume 65, Issue 2, May 2026.
Abstract Surveys of caves of the Nullarbor Plain, Western Australia, revealed a remarkable assemblage of exceptionally well‐preserved mummified arthropods, comprising Araneae, Blattodea, Coleoptera and Chilopoda, all of which exhibit high levels of troglomorphism, lacking eyes and showing a number of other adaptations.

Iandumoema uai, a new genus and species of troglobitic harvestman from Brazil (Arachnida, Opiliones, Gonyleptidae)

, 1996
A new genus and species of harvestman, landumoema uai, is described based on material from Gruta Olhos d'Água, Minas Gerais State, Brazil. Its troglomorphisms include depigmentation on body, legs and eyes.

Into the Darkness: Unveiling Unexpected Records of the Nonnative Millipede Prosopodesmus jacobsoni Silvestri, 1910 (Polydesmida: Haplodesmidae) in Brazilian Caves

Austral Entomology, Volume 65, Issue 2, May 2026.
ABSTRACT This study expands the known distribution of the nonnative millipede Prosopodesmus jacobsoni in Brazil and reports its presence in cave environments for the first time in the country. Based on recently collected material and historical records, the species is shown to maintain stable populations in subterranean systems in the states of ...

Secrets of the Spring‐Keepers: Phylogeographic Analyses of a Freshwater Amphipod Uncover Dispersal Pathways in Eastern North America

Journal of Biogeography, Volume 53, Issue 4, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Aim While the Nearctic freshwater amphipod Gammarus minus is known for its adaptation to groundwater environments, relatively little is known about other aspects of the evolutionary history of the species throughout its range, which spans much of the eastern United States.

Cave depth and subterranean connectivity are drivers of intraspecific trait variability in two subterranean congeneric beetles

Ecological Entomology, Volume 51, Issue 1, Page 153-164, February 2026.
The abundance of cave beetles increases with depth, with Duvalius hartigi exhibiting maximum densities at greater depths in volcanic systems. Troglomorphic traits become more pronounced with increasing depth exclusively in the alpine species Duvalius carantii.
