The interstitial stygobites of the genus Microcharon (Crustacea, Isopoda, Microparasellidae) are highly diversified in Morocco, especially in the High Atlas. A new species from the North Saharan platform is described. Microcharon oubrahimae n. sp. is characterized by the original morphology of the first male pleopod which exhibits a concave inner margin of the distal part and a subdistal position of the armature. From a phylogenetic point of view, M. oubrahimae does not belong to the lineage which includes the Moroccan Atlasian species. In contrast, it belongs to the eastern- Mediterranean group of species. It is related to the species of the groupM. orghidani -M. bureschi -M. phlegetonis from Romania and Bulgaria. The two-step model of colonization and evolution provides an understanding of the origin and evolutionary history of this stygobiont. M. oubrahimae derived from marine ancestors that lived in the littoral interstitial waters of the marine gulfs which covered the Errachidia-Boudnib-Erfoud basin within the pre-African trench during the Turonian or more likely Early Senonian. These marine ancestors might have settled in fresh groundwater during the regressive phases of the Turonian embayment or more likely of the brief Coniacian-Santonian gulf.

“…Previous works on phylogeny and biogeography of inland species have shown that species with more characters in an apomorphic state resulted from recent regressions whereas species exhibiting more plesiomorphic character states were left by ancient marine withdrawal during the late Cretaceous period (Coineau 1994, Galassi et al 1995b, Stoch & Galassi 2002. Vicariance evolution may have worked at different scales of space and time: at the scale of the Mediterranean, plate tectonics and large transgressions resulted in different lineages.…”

The interstitial groundwater genus Microcharon (Crustacea, Isopoda, Microparasellidae) is highly diversified in southern France. A new species, Microcharon boulanouari n. sp. is described from the Aude River, whereas specimens from the Lachein River in the central Pyrenees are reassigned to another species, M. ariegensis new to Science. Microcharon boulanouari n. sp. is closely related to the species of the group rouchi and may belong to the phylogenetic western Mediterranean lineage. The two-step model of colonization and evolution provides an understanding of the origin and age of this stygobite. Microcharon boulanouari n. sp. is derived from marine ancestors that lived in the interstitial littoral shallow bottoms of the Atlantic embayment which covered southwestern France at the very beginning of the early Eocene period. Both the regression of this gulf at the start of the Eocene and the Pyrenees uplift may have played a major role in the evolutionary history through vicariance of Microcharon boulanouari n. sp. and of the northern Pyrenean species of the group rouchi.

During a review of all isopod taxa (exclusive of Oniscidea), nomenclatural and taxonomic issues were found that need correction or detailed explanation. Herein, details are provided on five unreplaced species/subspecies homonyms, corrections to authorship and/or date for six genera, two families/subfamilies and 11 species, three unavailable names for subfamilies, 22 corrections to the spelling of specific names to conform to the gender of their respective genera, two junior homonyms that are replaced, and one genus that is validated herein. The history of Ianthe Bovallius, 1881 and its numerous replacement names, Brongniartia Eights, 1833, and Ceratoserolis Brandt, 1988 are discussed, a type species is selected for Vireia Viré, 1903, and Epicepon is validated as a genus name.
