Abstract

A new genus and species of troglobiotic nicoletiid (Insecta, Zygentoma, Nicoletiidae) is described from northern Alabama, USA. The type species was collected from three caves in the Highland Rim section of the Interior Low Plateau physiographic province on the northern side of the Tennessee River Valley. Morphological and genetic analysis using the mitochondrial 16S rRNA locus show that Spinanycta alabamensissp. nov. is quite distinct from related nicoletiids in North America. The species differs from members of other genera by its urosternum I, which in males is modified with a central pointy extension. The new species significantly extends the distribution of cave-dwelling members of the family into the southeastern United States and suggests that additional nicoletiid diversity remains to be discovered from karst regions of the eastern United States.

来自美国阿拉巴马州北部洞穴的一种新的银鱼属和种（昆虫纲，Zygentoma，Nicoletiidae

该研究描述了美国阿拉巴马州北部的一种蛙生尼古拉虫（昆虫纲，Zygentoma，Nicoletiidae）的新属和新种。模式种采集自田纳西河谷北侧内低高原地貌省高原边缘地段的三个洞穴。利用线粒体 16S rRNA 位点进行的形态学和遗传学分析表明，Spinanycta alabamensissp.该种与其他属成员的不同之处在于其尿囊 I，雄性尿囊的中央有一个尖尖的延长部分。该新种大大扩展了该科穴居成员在美国东南部的分布范围，并表明美国东部岩溶地区仍有更多的穴居类生物有待发现。

期刊介绍： Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance. Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
