@article{Schneider_Deharveng_2017, title={First record of the genus Spinaethorax Papáč & Palacios-Vargas, 2016 (Collembola, Neelipleona, Neelidae) in Asia, with a new species from a Vietnamese cave.}, url={https://europeanjournaloftaxonomy.eu/index.php/ejt/article/view/488}, DOI={10.5852/ejt.2017.363}, abstractNote={A new species of the genus <em>Spinaethorax</em> Papáč &amp; Palacios-Vargas, 2016, recently erected for two cave species of Mexico, is described from a Vietnamese cave. It differs from the Mexican species most noticeably by the dorsal chaetotaxy of the head (number and morphology of chaetae), the shape of S-chaetae on the third antennomere, the dorsal chaetotaxy of the abdomen and the chaetotaxy of the dens. The pattern of special τ-chaetae is described for the first time in the genus. The affinities between <em>Spinaethorax</em> and the other genera of Neelipleona are discussed. <em>Spinaethorax</em> is probably closely related to <em>Neelus</em> Folsom, 1896. A table of the differential characters is provided for the three known species of <em>Spinaethorax</em>. <em>Spinaethorax</em> appears to be restricted to caves, but its presence in Vietnam indicates that this genus has a much larger distribution than previously recognized.}, number={363}, journal={European Journal of Taxonomy}, author={Schneider, Clément and Deharveng, Louis}, year={2017}, month={Oct.} }
