Pseudonannolene spelaea n. sp. is the first strictly cave-dwelling species described for the family Pseudonannolenidae. It is found in iron ore caves in the Brazilian Amazon. The family Pseudonannolenidae is exclusively Neotropical and frequently found in caves of Brazil, from which 20 species are known. The new species is compared with its congeners and with related cave-dwelling species. The family Pseudonannolenidae is discussed, and comments are presented on the conservation status of the caves where the species is found, which potentially may be the target of anthropogenic impacts resulting from iron ore extraction.
洞穴伪南诺甲螨新种是伪南诺甲螨科描述的首个严格穴居物种。它发现于巴西亚马逊地区的铁矿石洞穴中。伪南诺甲螨科仅分布于新热带区，常见于巴西的洞穴，已知有20个物种。将该新物种与其同属物种及相关穴居物种进行了比较。对伪南诺甲螨科进行了讨论，并对发现该物种的洞穴的保护状况发表了评论，这些洞穴可能因铁矿石开采而受到人为影响。
