The first freshwater amphibian representative of Crinocheta (Oniscidea) from the Neotropics is described from caves within the Brazilian Cerrado biome, state of Mato Grosso do Sul. is placed in the family Philosciidae. The present work represents a significant contribution to future studies seeking to understand the ecological and evolutionary processes of Crinocheta within the Neotropical region. Moreover, it highlights the importance of biodiversity surveys in subterranean environments toward effective conservation efforts of these unique habitats and their surroundings.
来自新热带界的Crinocheta(潮虫亚目)的首个淡水两栖类代表物种是从巴西塞拉多生物群落区南马托格罗索州的洞穴中描述出来的。它被归入球潮虫科。本研究对于未来旨在了解新热带地区Crinocheta的生态和进化过程的研究具有重要贡献。此外,它凸显了地下环境生物多样性调查对于有效保护这些独特栖息地及其周边环境的重要性。
