However, B. aranfaybo can be differentiated by its larger size and brighter body surface, proportionally longer antennae, longer scapes increasingly widened towards a ¼ of the apex, and the isodiametric pronotum (slightly transverse in B. bimbache). In addition, its elytra are proportionally longer with a pronounced apical declivity slightly projecting in peak in lateral view. The femora and tibiae are proportionally longer with less pronounced dilations on inner sides. Median lobe of the aedeagus with dorsally slightly convex sides (slightly diverging in B. bimbache) and rounded apex (slightly acute in B. bimbache), and less concave in lateral profile. In females, the spiculum ventrale has a larger manubrium and arms, these latter forming an acute angle (obtuse in B. bimbache).</p><p>Etymology.</p><p>Specific name in apposition of Aranfaybo, considered by the Bimbaches (aboriginal people of El Hierro) as a sacred animal that lived in the cave Asteheyta (in the locality of Tacuytunta). This animal, with a pig-like appearance, was invoked as a magical intermediary to attract rains (Abreu 1848).</p><p>Habitat and distribution.</p><p>This new species lives in Cueva de Longueras, a lava tube discovered in the 1980's on the northern slope of El Hierro island. It is located in a moderately old lava flow covered by thermo-sclerophyllous vegetation, which is partially degraded by long-abandoned agricultural activity in the locality. Despite its relatively short length (300 m), it offers good conditions for the subterranean fauna due to its high humidity and stable low temperature during the whole year, as well as roots hanging from the ceiling at several cave parts ( Oromí et al. 2001). The cave-adapted fauna found in this cave is composed of the pseudoscorpion Paraliochthonius martini Mahnert, 1989, an undescribed spider species probably of the genus Robertus (C. Ribera, pers. comm.), an undescribed species of the planthopper genus Cixius, the thread-legged bug Collartida anophthalma Español &amp; Ribes, 1983, the cockroach Loboptera ombriosa Martín &amp; Izquierdo, 1987, the rove beetle Alevonota hierroensis Assing &amp; Wunderle, 2008, and the ground beetle Trechus minioculatus Machado, 1987. In the last 15 years, the cave has been visited and sampled with pitfall traps several times but no additional specimens of B. aranfaybo were collected. The three so far known specimens emerged from dead roots collected on three occasions, and stored in glass recipients in dark conditions. In 2020, we found the remains of six individuals by washing soil collected from the vicinity of roots inside the cave. Therefore, within the cave, this subterranean weevil seems to live associated with patches of roots that penetrate downwards from above-ground vegetation.</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/EC506F3FAAAF5DE3ABCB5B3B4044FB8B	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

The cave is located in the wall of a small ravine, in a place where the potential vegetation is thermo-sclerophyllous, but partially degraded and nowadays mainly replaced by Amygdalus communis, Opuntia sp., Euphorbia lamarckii and Rumex lunaria . In addition to its biological interest, this cave (only 63 m in length) holds many archaeological remains (pottery, bones, shells, etc.) that attest to its use as home by the prehispanic inhabitants of the island, the Auaritas. Inside this cave, there are several sections with high environmental humidity, roots hanging from the ceiling and walls, and soil covered with fine sediments. These points in the cave are the most suitable for underground fauna. Besides Baezia madai sp. nov., the presence of other troglobitic species has been confirmed, such as the sandhopper Palmorchestia hypogaea Stock &amp; Martín, 1988, the cockroach Loboptera teneguia Izquierdo &amp; Martín, 1999, and the ground beetles Licinopsis angustula Machado, 1987 and Thalassophilus subterraneus Machado, 1990. During the last decade, the authors have sampled the cave several times with pitfall traps and collected dead roots to remove weevil individuals from them, but without obtaining additional material beyond the only known specimen.</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/89B050D79E6C57B4AE1E7660F59019AC	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

However, the two fresh specimens known of B. tizziri were collected in a close locality of the North of the island, in the MSS of the ravine Barranco de los Hombres, using subterranean traps similar to those designed by López and Oromí (2010). The ravine has well-preserved thermo-sclerophyllous vegetation, dominated by species including Hypericum canariense, Apollonias barbujana and Bosea yervamora, with some sparse exotic trees like Persea americana . In these traps, other subterranean species have been collected besides B. tizziri: the ground beetle Licinopsis angustula, the rove beetle Domene benahoarensis Oromí &amp; Martín, 1990, and unidentified specimens of the cockroach genus Loboptera and the rove beetle genus Medon .</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/B910D19FABC455EE94681E15102AC010	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.
