“…Schmidt (2007), in his study of the Neotropical Scleropactidae, redefined the genus Amazoniscus and redescribed A. arlei based on the type material from the north of Brazil in the states of Amapá and Pará. The author extended the records of this species to the states of Minas Gerais and Rio de Janeiro (southeastern Brazil); the material is deposited in the collection of MNRJ.…”

“…This also occurrs in phylogenetical analyses of other genera of Oniscidea (see Schmidt 2002Schmidt , 2003. The dorsal fan-shaped scale-setae are shared with other genera and families of Crinocheta, for example, some members of Philosciidae (Caraiboscia Vandel, 1968, Metaprosekia Leistikow, 2000 (see Leistikow, 2000;Campos-Filho et al, 2014), members of Dubioniscidae Schultz, 1995(see Cardoso et al, 2016, members of Spelaeoniscidae Vandel, 1948(see Schmidt, 2003, and the genus Chileoniscus Taiti, Ferrara & Schmalfuss, 1986 (incertae sedis) (see Schmidt, 2007). This structure seems to be related with an endogean way of life and it has an anti-adhesive function (Schmalfuss, 1978).…”

“…The furrow bearing setae on the antenna belongs to the WCS (Hoese, 1981;Schmalfuss, 1998), and it is present in many different Crinocheta families (see Schmidt, 2003). The fused postfrons and profons on the cephalon, together with the 4+4/5 teeth on the maxillula outer endite are present in many genera of Crinocheta Schmidt, 2003Schmidt, , 2007. Recently, Javidkar et al (2017) added new diagnostic characters to the family, such as dorsal surface smooth, one line of noduli laterales per side on pereonites 1-6 and pereonite 7 with two noduli laterales per side.…”

ABSTRACT. A large collection of terrestrial isopods from different Brazilian regions was examined. Two new species of Amazoniscus Lemos de Castro, 1967 (Scleropactidae) are described: A. zimmeri Campos-Filho, Montesanto & Araujo sp. nov. from the state of Pará and A. schmidti Campos-Filho, Montesanto & Taiti sp. nov. from the state of Minas Gerais. Pseudotyphloscia alba (Dollfus, 1898) (Philosciidae) is firstly recorded from Brazil. The systematic position of Venezillo tuberosus (Budde-Lund, 1904) is discussed and transferred to Ctenorillo Verhoeff, 1942. Androdeloscia lejeunei (Lemos de Castro & Souza, 1986) and Diploexochus echinatus Brandt, 1833 from the state of Pará, are redescribed.

Subterranean Biology 23: 69-84. https://doi.org/10.3897/subtbiol.23.20963 Abstract Approximately 170 species of terrestrial isopods are known from Brazil, but only 12 are considered troglobionts. The family Pudeoniscidae comprises four species in two genera, Brasiloniscus and Pudeoniscus. After the examination of material collected in caves in the state of Bahia, a new genus and two new species have been recognized, Iansaoniscus iraquara gen. et sp. n. from Buraco do Cão cave, Iraquara, and Iansaoniscus georginae gen. et sp. n. from Borboletas cave, Paripiranga. The new genus and new species are placed in Pudeoniscidae on the basis of some morphological characteristics, such as antennal flagellum with second and third articles divided by a slender suture, epimera of pereonite 1 with dorsolateral furrow reduced or absent, and shape of uropods. The Brazilian subterranean environments are now under potential threat because of recent legislation for cave exploitation, and the knowledge of the subterranean biodiversity of the country is thus of primary importance for its effective conservation.

“…Taxonomic studies are the foundation of biological research and naming newly delimited species should be strongly stimulated. Recently, many efforts have been made to describe the diversity of the terrestrial isopods from Neotropics (e. g., Schmidt, 2007;Campos-Filho et al 2013Souza et al 2015; López-Orozco et al 2017). Unfortunately, few studies had focused in the BAF (i. e., Campos-Filho et al 2013Zimmermann et al 2015).…”

Integrative taxonomy reveals a new genus and new species of Philosciidae (Crustacea: Isopoda: Oniscidea) from the Neotropical region

Abstract:Although new methods and data are conquering space in the field of taxonomy, such as integrative taxonomy, most of the terrestrial isopod species are still described based only on morphology. Species of the genus Atlantoscia Ferrara & Taiti, 1981 were the first and are the unique terrestrial isopods from the Neotropics for which a molecular phylogeny was already conducted. Previous results indicated that this genus could be paraphyletic, and a more detailed analysis would be required. Our aim was to reconstruct the phylogeny of Atlantoscia using mitochondrial and nuclear markers and test its monophyly by integrating molecular and morphological data. We observed that, indeed, Atlantoscia is paraphyletic. Atlantoscia ituberasensis Campos-Filho, Lisboa & Araujo, 2013 and Atlantoscia rubromarginata Araujo & Leistikow, 1999 were placed in a new genus of terrestrial isopods, Paratlantoscia gen. nov., together with a new species described in the present study, Paratlantoscia robusta sp. nov. The new genus is defined by the presence of specialized respiratory areas in the pleopod exopods and its validity is highly corroborated by molecular analyses and by biogeographic information. This study highlights the importance of multiple and complementary perspectives as a way to improve the quality of species hypothesis and associated descriptions. al. 2013; Grummer et al. 2014). Due to practical and historical reasons most species were primarily described based on morphology for most part of our history (Padial et al. 2010).Nonetheless, new methods and data are conquering space in taxonomy. For example, assigning groups of organisms to species is one of the most challenging aspects of phylogenetic studies (Coyne and Orr 2004).One of these new approaches is integrative taxonomy. It integrates information from different sources (usually from morphological and molecular data) to delimit and describe taxa. The result is improved rigor in species delimitation, which is its ultimate goal as well (Marshall et al. 2006; Schilick-Steiner et al. 2010;Castalanelli et al. 2017). Integrative taxonomy has gained many supporters in recent years, especially because this approach has been proved to be effective in solving systematic issues in a variety of groups (e.g., Castro-Romero et al. 2016;Decker et al. 2016;Ekimova et al. 2016; Hernandez-Orts et al. 2017; Mazancourt et al. 2017), thus improving the quality of species hypothesis and associated descriptions (Pante et al. 2015). In this context, terrestrial isopods (Oniscidea) are an interesting group, since the majority of the species are still described based only on morphology, even though in many cases morphological characters do not provide a clear taxonomic resolution (Schmalfuss 2003). Terrestrial isopods comprise the most successful colonizers of terrestrial environments among crustaceans and show morphological, physiological, and behavioral adaptations to this lifestyle (Richardson and Araujo 2015). For example, the development of the respiratory structures on the pleo...
