A new species of , C. (Cryptops) legagus, occurs in caves in the Koanaka and Gcwihaba Hills in northwestern Botswana. Bayesian molecular phylogenetics using 18S rRNA, 28S rRNA, 16S rRNA and cytochrome oxidase subunit I corroborates a morphological assignment to the subgenus Cryptops and closest affinities to southern temperate species in South Africa, Australia and New Zealand. The new species is not conspicuously modified as a troglomorph.
一种新的隐蜈蚣属物种,即莱加格斯隐蜈蚣(Cryptops legagus),出现在博茨瓦纳西北部的科阿纳卡山和格维哈巴山的洞穴中。利用18S rRNA、28S rRNA、16S rRNA和细胞色素氧化酶亚基I进行的贝叶斯分子系统发育分析证实了其在隐蜈蚣亚属中的形态归属,以及与南非、澳大利亚和新西兰南部温带物种的密切亲缘关系。该新物种并没有显著地特化为洞穴形态。
