SABIIA - Sistema Aberto e Integrado de Informação em Agricultura (Sabiia)

Descriptions are given of two new phreatobitic species of the genus Synasellus Braga, 1944, from Huelva Province, Andalusia, Spain. A check-list is presented of the 32 known species of the genus with their type-localities. A primary homonymy is corrected: Synasellus bragai Henry & Magniez, 1987 = Synasellus bragaianus nom. nov. Notes are made on the ecology, biogeography and evolution of the Asellidae of the Iberian peninsula.

Asellus (Asellus) monticola monticola Birstein, 1932 has been found in a spring in the extreme NW of Iran. Amplifications of the original description of this valid species, which is clearly distinct from A. aquaticus, are given. Contrary to A. aquaticus, A. monticola appears to be strongly endemic and stenotopic; its settlement may have taken place prior to the expansion of A. aquaticus across Europe. Some reflections on the taxonomy and biogeography of the Asellidae of the Transcaucasian region are included.

Samples collected in underground waters of Spain by Ine Meijers and Jos Notenboom demonstrated the presence of some oculated asellids previously known: Proasellus coiffaiti, P. coxalis, and P. meridianus, and also four new stygophilous species, more or less depigmented, with different stages of regression of the ocular system: P. beticus n. sp., P. ortizi n. sp., P. aragonensis n. sp., and P. ebrensis n. sp. These forms represent relict populations of ancient epigean species. The anophthalmous species of the Aquitanian Basin, Pyrenees, and Iberian Peninsula are more closely related to P. beticus and P. ortizi than to the Recent epigean species P. coxalis and P. meridianus.
