Abstract: | The new pseudoscorpion genus Lusoblothrus of the family Syarinidae is described from a cave in the Algarve region, southern Portugal, to accommodate L. aenigmaticus sp. nov., whose morphological affinities within the Holarctic syarinid fauna are not clear and resembles the Gondwanan genera. This discovery emphasizes the relevance of the Algarve region as a hotspot for relictual hypogean fauna within the Iberian Peninsula. O novo género Lusoblothrus de pseudoscorpião da familia Syarinidae, recolhido numa gruta do Algarve (sul de Portugal), é descrito para incluir a nova espécie Lusoblothrus aenigmaticus. As suas afinidades com géneros Holárticos são dúbias e algumas características morfológicas assemelham-se às de géneros Gondoânicos. Esta descoberta enfatiza a relevância do maciço calcário do Algarve como um ponto quente de fauna hipógea relíctica dentro da Península Ibérica. |
