Abstract

Pseudochthonius ramalhosp. nov. is described to Gruna do Vandercir cave, in the Serra do Ramalho karst area, southwestern Bahia, Brazil. This area has an extensive limestone outcrop, with several caves, and the occurrence of potential minerals that are financially attractive for mining projects. The new species shows troglomorphic characteristics such as the depigmentation of the carapace and absence or reduction of eyes. It is a rare troglobitic species, and following the criteria of IUCN, we categorized the species as Critically Endangered – CR, IUCN criteria B1ab(iii)+2ab(iii). According to Brazilian legislation, locations, where critically endangered species live, can be protected by law, and we consider this cave/region to be of maximal relevance for protection.

巴西Serra do Ramalho喀斯特地区首个穴居假蝎子(Pseudochthonius Balzan, 1892):濒危物种

假石斑鱼。nov.被描述为Gruna do Vandercir洞穴，位于巴西巴伊亚西南部的Serra do Ramalho喀斯特地区。该地区有一个广泛的石灰岩露头，有几个洞穴，并且存在对采矿项目具有经济吸引力的潜在矿产。该新物种表现出虫形特征，如外壳褪色、眼睛缺失或缩小。它是一种罕见的三球虫物种，根据国际自然保护联盟的标准，我们将该物种归类为极度濒危物种-CR，国际自然保护协会的标准为B1ab（iii）+2ab（iii）。根据巴西立法，极度濒危物种生活的地方可以受到法律保护，我们认为这个洞穴/地区与保护关系最大。

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.
