Four new, presumably troglobiotic species of the chordeumatidan genus Acanthophorella Antić & Makarov, 2016 are described from several Georgian caves. Acanthophorella didi sp. nov. and A. gaumarjos sp. nov. were discovered in three and one cave in the Racha karst massif, respectively, while A. eto sp. nov. and A. spinicoxa sp. nov. are known each from two caves in the Sataplia-Tskaltubo karst massif and Zemo Imereti plateau, respectively. All four species are properly diagnosed, described, and richly illustrated. Vulvae are described for the first time in Acanthophorella barjadzei Antić & Makarov, 2016, and new records are added for A. valerii Antić in Antić et al., 2023. Notes on the ecology and localities are given for new species. The distribution map and a key to all 10 species of the genus are presented. Distribution and troglomorphism within the genus are briefly discussed.
从格鲁吉亚的几个洞穴中描述了弹尾目棘球蚴属(Acanthophorella Antić & Makarov,2016)的四个新的、可能为洞穴生物的物种。新物种迪迪棘球蚴(Acanthophorella didi sp. nov.)和高马尔乔斯棘球蚴(A. gaumarjos sp. nov.)分别在拉恰岩溶地块的三个洞穴和一个洞穴中被发现,而埃托棘球蚴(A. eto sp. nov.)和刺胫棘球蚴(A. spinicoxa sp. nov.)分别已知来自萨塔普利-茨卡卢博岩溶地块和上伊梅列季高原的两个洞穴。对所有四个物种进行了恰当的诊断、描述并配有丰富的插图。首次描述了2016年发现的巴尔贾德棘球蚴(Acanthophorella barjadzei Antić & Makarov)的阴门,并为2023年安蒂奇等人报道的瓦列里棘球蚴(A. valerii Antić)增加了新记录。给出了新物种的生态和产地注释。展示了该属所有10个物种的分布图和检索表。简要讨论了该属内的分布和洞穴适应性。
