Description

This dataset contains the digitized treatments in Plazi based on the original journal article Sendra, Alberto, Mayvan, Mahmood Mehrafrooz, Selfa, Jesus, Jiménez-Valverde, Alberto, Kováč, Ľubomír (2026): A new species of an interesting cave-adapted dipluran (Diplura, Campodeidae, Plusiocampinae) from the Kopet Dagh Mountains in Iran. European Journal of Taxonomy 1034: 85-102, DOI: 10.5852/ejt.2026.1034.3159, URL: europeanjournaloftaxonomy.eu/index.php/ejt/article/download/3159/14063 Abstract.

A new species of Plusiocampinae (Diplura, Campodeidae), Anatoliocampa pax Sendra & Mehrafrooz sp. nov., is described from specimens collected in an unexplored cave system in the Kopet Dagh Mountains, northeastern Iran, near the Turkmenistan border. This is the second known species of the genus Anatoliocampa, previously represented only by Anatoliocampa diclesis Sendra, Tusun & Satar, 2022, from a cave in the Anatolian Peninsula.

The relationship between these two species highlights the biogeographical relevance of Anatoliocampa as a genus within the well-established subfamily Plusiocampinae, which has a Palearctic distribution; East Asia is probably the evolution center of this subfamily, with representatives that occupy mostly deep subterranean ecosystems. An updated taxonomical key for the 15 known genera of Plusiocampinae subfamily is provided.
