Abstract

The genus Baezia Alonso-Zarazaga & Garcia, 1999 is endemic to the Canary Islands, where four species were known to date. Based on morphological evidence, three new species of Baezia are described in this study: Baezia aranfaybo Garcia & Lopez, sp. nov. from El Hierro island, and Baezia madai Garcia & Oromi sp. nov. and Baezia tizziri Garcia & Andujar, sp. nov. from La Palma island. Notes on their biology, habitat, and distribution are presented. The number of taxa in this endemic Canarian genus increases to seven eyeless species. One species has been reported from the soil (endogean environment), with the other six associated with caves and the mesovoid shallow substratum (hypogean or subterranean environment). Frequent association with the presence of roots suggests that species of Baezia may inhabit the continuum represented by the endogean and hypogean environments. Identification key to the seven species are provided.

标题加那利群岛地下三新种的贝兹亚属(金鱼科，金鱼科)

Baezia Alonso Zarazaga&Garcia属，1999年为加那利群岛的特有种，迄今已知有四种。根据形态学证据，本研究描述了三个新的Baezia物种：El Hierro岛的Baeza aranfaybo Garcia&Lopez，sp.nov.和La Palma岛的Baizia madai Garcia&Oromi sp.nov..和Baezia tizziri Garcia&Andujar，sp.nova。介绍了它们的生物学、栖息地和分布情况。这个特有的加那利属的分类群数量增加到七个无眼物种。据报道，有一个物种来自土壤（内纪环境），其他六个物种与洞穴和中孔隙浅下层（地下或地下环境）有关。与根的存在频繁相关表明，Baezia物种可能栖息在以内生和下生环境为代表的连续体中。提供了七个物种的识别密钥。

期刊介绍： Subterranean Biology is an international journal published by Pensoft on behalf of the International Society for Subterranean Biology [SIBIOS-ISSB] for the publication of original and significant contributions on all aspects of subterranean life. The Journal will consider original scientific papers dealing with any aspect of subterranean ecosystems and their components focusing on biology, ecology, evolution and conservation. Reviews and Commentaries: The journal welcomes review articles on aspects of subterranean biology. They should be submitted in the same way as research articles but use a simple layout with no more than three levels of headings. Commentaries on previous matter published in the journal may be also considered. Both reviews and commentaries will be reviewed. Book Reviews: Reviews of books, symposia volumes and conferences pertinent to the journal are welcome. The journal publishes electronic versions of the articles when these are ready to publish, without delays that might be caused by completion of an issue. These electronic versions are not "pre-prints" but final and immutable (Version of Record), hence available for the purposes of biological nomenclature. The date indicated on the electronic version is to be considered the actual publication date.
