015C614EF40AFF995C94F9C5036EFCB1.taxon	materials_examined	Material. We have not examined the type specimens described by Vachon (1946) from Portugal, district of Leiria, Abiúl, Algar sul das Corujeiras (male) and Santiago da Guarda, Algar da Lapa (female), but Dr Mark Judson (MNHN), at our request, has kindly checked the most important diagnostic characters of the species, mentioned below. Recent searches for R. cavernicola at the type localities have been unsuccessful. In the case of the Algar da Lapa locality, the cave can no longer be found and the cave entrance was probably destroyed by building construction in the area (Grupo Protecção Sicó, pers. com.).	en	Reboleira, Ana Sofia P.

Manducatory process with 3 setae on each side in both sexes. Trichobothrial ratio ib – ist / ist – it 1.1 [1.3]; ratio isb – ist / ib – isb 0.5 [0.7]. Pedipalp measurements: femur 1.42 / 0.24 (5.9) [1.59 / 0.24 (6.9)]; patella 1.40 / 0.29 (4.9) [1.62 / 0.27 (6.0)], pedicel 0.36 [0.41], club 1.04 / 0.29 (3.6) [1.21 / 0.27 (4.5)], ratio club / pedicel 2.9 [3.0]; chela + 2.45 / 0.42 (5.8) [2.76 / 0.40 (6.9)]; hand + 0.94 (2.2) [1.05 / 0.4 (2.6)]; movable finger 1.59 [1.77]; ratio movable finger / hand + 1.7 [1.7]; finger / femur 1.1 [1.1]; femur / patella 1.0 [1.0]; patella / hand + 1.5 [1.5]. Vachon’s (1946) description stated that in R. cavernicola the manducatory process bears only 2 setae, which would be quite exceptional in the family Neobisidae (Harvey & Volschenk 2007). Zaragoza (2000, 2002) also used this character for taxonomic comparisons. However, Vachon’s observation is incorrect because 3 setae are present on the manducatory process of both of the type specimens (M. Judson, in litt.).	en	Reboleira, Ana Sofia P.

015C614EF409FF9D5C94F895061FFCBA.taxon	discussion	Remarks. Beier (1962) described the tarsal claws of R. blothroides as lacking a dorsal tooth and used this as a characteristic to separate this species from R. cavernicola; as did Mahnert (1976), based on Beier’s description. Zaragoza (2002) suggested that, due to the tiny size of the teeth in some Roncocreagris species, it was not difficult to imagine that Beier might have overlooked them in R. blothroides. Given the agreement in all other studied characters, we have no doubt that the specimens described above belong to R. blothroides, hence the absence / presence of teeth on the tarsal claws is not a valid diagnostic character for this species. Beier’s original diagnosis (1962) of R. blothroides stated that it bears 4 setae on the posterior margin of the carapace and 4 setae on tergite I. Of the 24 specimens checked, 16 coincide with this (4 + 4), two bear 4 + 3, two 4 + 5, one 4 + 6, one 5 + 4, and two 5 + 5. No specimens bear 6 or more setae on posterior margin of carapace, and this number of setae is very rare on tergite I. This pattern is important for separating taxonomic groups within the genus Roncocreagris. The discal setae of the sternites are glandular with a visible duct, as first described and illustrated by Judson (1992) and also mentioned and illustrated by Zaragoza 2002. The sensillum of the movable finger, near dental margin and close to the trichobothrium st, is diploid as mentioned and illustrated for other species by Judson (1992) and Zaragoza (2003), but it is not raised in this species. Roncocreagris blothroides and R. cavernicola share the feature of being the only species to usually have 4 setae on the posterior margin of the carapace and on tergite I. They differ as follows: the chelal measurements and ratios are distinctly larger in R. blothroides than in R. cavernicola; trichobothrium ist is medial with respect to ib / it, and it is medial with respect to est / et in R. blothroides, whereas in R. cavernicola ist is placed more basally and it is closer to est than to et; the male galea bears some rami apically in R. blothroides, but it is simple in R. cavernicola.	en	Reboleira, Ana Sofia P.

015C614EF40DFF935C94FCD403BFF945.taxon	discussion	Remarks. Among the species with 6 setae or more on posterior margin of carapace and tergite I, the new species shares with R. aurouxi Zaragoza, 2000 (from Cantabria, Spain) the simple shape of the cheliceral galea, although it should be noted that the types of the two species belong to different sexes (only the female is known for R. aurouxi). Also, both species have relatively low ratios for pedipalpal femur and chela for hypogean species of the genus. However, they differ in the chelal movable finger / hand ratio, which is 1.4 in R. borgesi vs 1.7 in R. auroxi; moreover the chelal finger length is almost equal than the femur in the new species, but distinctly longer in R. aurouxi.	en	Reboleira, Ana Sofia P.

015C614EF40DFF935C94FCD403BFF945.taxon	distribution	Distribution and habitat. Only known from the type locality in Sicó massif, Roncocreagris borgesi sp. nov. was collected in the deepest galleries of Cerâmica Cave, where relative humidity is around 100 % throughout the year and mean temperature at soil level is 15.3 ºC. The presence of two hypogean pseudoscorpion species, R. blothroides and R. borgesi, in the same cave is infrequent but not unknown (e. g. Zaragoza 2007). Due to the moderate troglomorphism and scarce occurrence of R. borgesi in the cave, compared to R. blothroides, we suggest that this species might predominantly occur in the mesovoid shallow substratum, rather than in the cave itself. Cerâmica Cave is the richest one of central Portugal in terms of known troglobiont fauna, harboring 10 caveadapted species: 3 pseudoscorpions, 1 spider, 1 millipede, 3 oniscidean woodlice, 1 dipluran and 1 beetle (Reboleira, 2012). Among the cave-adapted species, the pseudoscorpions R. blothroides, R. borgesi sp. nov. and Chthonius sp., the spider Lepthyphantes sp. and the rove-beetle Domene lusitanica Reboleira & Oromí, 2011 are macro- and micropredators, while a new species of chordeumatid millipede, the woodlice Porcellio cavernicolus Vandel, 1964 and two trichoniscids, together with the dipluran Podocampa cf. fragiloides Silvestri, 1932, play a detritivorous role in this subterranean ecosystem (Reboleira et al. 2011 a, 2011 b). Other interesting troglophile species have stable populations in this biocoenosis, such as the gastropod Oxychilus draparnaldi (Beck, 1837), the centipede Lithobius pilicornis Newport, 1844 and the ground beetle Trechus fulvus Dejean, 1831.	en	Reboleira, Ana Sofia P.

015C614EF403FF905C94F88C036CFE7E.taxon	discussion	Remarks. The new species is easily distinguishable from R. borgesi sp. nov. by the shape of the chelal hand, which is elliptic and widest at middle in R. gepesi versus oval and widest proximad of middle in R. borgesi; also the pedipalps are larger and more slender in R. gepesi. The new species can be differentiated from R. cavernicola by the chelal movable finger / hand + ratio (1.4, versus 1.7) and by the chaetotaxy of the posterior margin of the carapace (7 setae, versus 4) and of tergite I (6 setae, versus 4). Roncocreagris gepesi is more closely related to R. lucensis Zaragoza, 2002 (from Galicia, Spain), despite being 400 km away, but in the latter the pedipalps are shorter and less slender than in R. borgesi, and the distance between trichobothria et and it is 3.3 times longer than that between it and est in the Spanish species, versus 1.2 in the Portuguese species.	en	Reboleira, Ana Sofia P.

015C614EF400FF955C94FD970463FB22.taxon	discussion	Remarks. The main diagnostic characters of the paratype from Gruta dos Bolhos generally coinciding with those of the holotype and paratype from Algar do Javali, but it has a less slender chela. We prefer to assign the specimen from Gruta dos Bolhos to R. occidentalis sp. nov. until new material is available for study.	en	Reboleira, Ana Sofia P.

015C614EF400FF955C94FD970463FB22.taxon	distribution	Distribution and habitat. Roncocreagris occidentalis sp. nov. was collected in two caves from two different karst units, Javali in the Montejunto massif and Bolhos in the Cesaredas plateau. In Javali Cave, which has a year-round temperature of 15.1 + 0.5 ºC at soil level, R. occidentalis is found with other interesting cave-adapted species, such as the ground beetle Trechus tatai Reboleira & Ortuño, 2010 (Reboleira et al. 2010 b), while in Bolhos Cave the biocoenosis is composed of a new trichoniscid woodlouse, the dipluran Podocampa cf. fragiloides and the thysanuran Coletinia sp. and the mean temperature is 16.3 ºC. Also found in both caves was the pseudoscorpion Chthonius (Ephippiochthonius) cardosoi Zaragoza, 2012, previously known only from the Arrábida massif (Zaragoza 2012).	en	Reboleira, Ana Sofia P.
