Cave-dwelling terrestrial isopods from the province of Kohgiluyeh and Boyerahmad, southwestern Iran, are reported here. These include three accidental and one troglobitic species namely Protracheoniscus gakalicus n. sp., which is also the first recorded troglobitic species from the genus Protracheoniscus. The new species is readily distinguished by the lack of eyes and pigmentation.
本文报道了来自伊朗西南部科吉卢耶-博韦艾哈迈德省的穴居陆生等足类动物。其中包括三种偶然发现的物种和一种洞穴物种,即新物种加卡利克原真土甲(Protracheoniscus gakalicus n. sp.),这也是原真土甲属首次记录的洞穴物种。该新物种很容易通过缺乏眼睛和色素沉着来区分。
