| Cyathuva numeae n.sp. from New Caledonia is the sixth blind species of the genus Cyathura Norman & Stebbing, 1886, found in hypogean habitats. The new species lives in the interstitia of coastal sand or gravel, like C. milloti Chappuis et al., 1956, from Réunion. A close relationship to the other species is not obvious; the specific shape of the appendix masculina can be derived from the carinata-type. In contrast to the slender species, C. curassavica Stork, 1940, and C. specus Bowman, 1965, in the new species the adaptations to hypogean life are limited to the small body size and reduction of the eyes. |

| The morphology of the only two known hypogean Paranthuridae ( Cruregens fontanus Chilton, 1881; Curassanthura halma Kensley, 1981) is described. Curassanthura has no closely related marine relatives and must be placed at the base of the more specialized Paranthuridae; Cruregens is closely related to the specialized genus Colanthura, which lives in the upper littoral. Comparing the hypogean paranthurids with Colanthura, several analogies can be found in the hypogean species (body slender, only P 1 with stout subchela, P 4-6 slender, P 7 missing, uropods slender or short and bearing long setae), which can be explained from the way of living of the Paranthuridae. |
