S. Vargovitsh) . Paratypes: 2 males, 7 females (one male and two females on slides); same locality and data (R. S. Vargovitsh) (ZIN) .</p><p>Habitats. All specimens of Coryphophthalmus troglophilus sp. nov. were collected on walls, stalagmites and among stones in a cave at depths of ˗20 to ˗ 25 m. The cave is narrow, almost all vertical, with a total depth of ˗ 33 m (Fig.14). The arthropod fauna in the cave is quite rich. The main adaptations of this new species to life in conditions of low light on the rocky surface substrate include green or dark green eyes; weak body pigmentation; pretarsa with well-developed arolium and claws; relatively long cerci, tarsi and tibiae of the hind legs; apical needles of the urostyli; large sublateral spines on urocoxites IX, especially in the male; reduced number of apical sensorial cones on the third labial palpomere and sensilla on the apical part of labium; and camouflaged by the mottled color of scales on the upper side of the body. These characteristics place it as a troglophile.</p><p>Etymology. The species name troglophilus is Latin for “troglo = cave; philus = preference”.</p><p>Discussion. Coryphophthalmus troglophilus sp. nov. resembles C. abchasicus in the presence of numerous long thin chaetae on the undersurface of the male maxillary palp, absence of such chaetae on the upper surface of the male labial palp and absence of spine-like chaetae on the undersurface of the tarsus. The main differences between C. troglophilus and C. abchasicus consist in the color of compound eyes, the line of eye contact, lengths of cercus and apical spines of the urostyli, ratio of length to width of the apical palpomere of the labial palp and number of divisions of the ovipositor and parameres (Table 4).</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/03B8593794445F7D3EAFFF143CA2A8EF	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.
