@article{Sendra_Komerički_Lips_Luan_Selfa_Jiménez-Valverde_2021, title={Asian cave-adapted diplurans, with the description of two new genera and four new species (Arthropoda, Hexapoda, Entognatha)}, volume={731}, url={https://europeanjournaloftaxonomy.eu/index.php/ejt/article/view/1199}, DOI={10.5852/ejt.2021.731.1199}, abstractNote={<p>Twenty-nine specimens of Diplura collected from eight caves in China and Myanmar contain two new genera, <em>Hubeicampa</em> Sendra &amp; Lips gen. nov. and <em>Mueggejapyx</em> Sendra &amp; Komerički gen. nov., as well as four new species, <em>Anisuracampa ywangana</em> Sendra &amp; Komerički sp. nov., <em>Hubeicampa melissa</em> Sendra &amp; Lips gen. et sp. nov., <em>Pacificampa wudonghuii</em> Sendra sp. nov. and <em>Mueggejapyx brehieri</em> Sendra &amp; Komerički gen. et sp. nov. These cave-adapted taxa showcase an impressive diversity in morphological adaptation (troglomorphy) to cave ecosystems. Their sensorial equipment, setae and receptors in the cupuliform organ have unique forms (<em>H. melissa</em> gen. et sp. nov.), as well as the pretarsus sticky surface (<em>A. ywangana</em> sp. nov. and <em>H. melissa</em> gen. et sp. nov.). Recent contributions on Asian diplurans, together with the taxonomic novelties shown in the present study, highlight the biogeographical importance of the Asian biodiversity. Asia is revealed as a continent with vast karst regions still waiting to be explored and new dipluran species waiting to be discovered.</p>}, number={1}, journal={European Journal of Taxonomy}, author={Sendra, Alberto and Komerički, Ana and Lips, Josiane and Luan, Yunxia and Selfa, Jesús and Jiménez-Valverde, Alberto}, year={2021}, month={Jan.}, pages={1-46} }
