Titanobochica magna Zaragoza &amp; Reboleira sp. nov.</p><p>Terra typica. Portugal, Algarve, in caves.</p><p>Etymology. From titan, titanis, the Latin line name of the six giant sons of Gaea and Uranus in Greek mythology (common current meaning: any person or thing of enormous size or prodigious power) and Bochica, one of the most important deities of the Chibcha Indians of ancient Colombia (Judson in Mahnert 2001); gender masculine.</p><p>Diagnosis. Large cave-dwelling pseudoscorpions with extreme troglobiontic adaptations. Pleural membranes longitudinally smoothly striate. Apex of pedipalpal coxa triangular and acute, with two long setae. Carapace without epistome. Eyes absent. Chelicera usually with 4 setae on hand (seldom 5 or 6); rallum of five slender blades. Most sternites with multiple rows of setae (biseriate or triseriate). Pedipalps very slender, chelal ratio about 8.00×; without glandular tubercle on the femur; chelal fingers without accessory teeth, movable finger distinctly shorter than the fixed finger, with venom apparatus; fixed finger with the tip rounded, venedens reduced and venom apparatus absent. Trichobothrium ib in basal half of dorsum of hand; trichobothrium ist slightly proximal to est; trichobothria et and it opposite each other at apex of finger. Leg IV with femur (F)/patella (P) index F/F+P (Muchmore 1998): about 0.15; metatarsi much shorter than tarsi; without spines on pedal tarsi; arolia shorter than claws.</p><p>Remarks. Titanobochica is placed in the family Bochicidae by virtue of the presence of a venom apparatus with a long duct in the movable chelal finger, the nodus ramosus not expanded, the apex of the pedipalpal coxa with 2 long setae and trichobothrium ib located on the dorsum of the hand. It is assigned to the subfamily Bochicinae because it has the apex of the pedipalpal coxa acute, and a low F/F+P index of leg IV, as outlined by Muchmore (1998).</p><p>Titanobochica is easily distinguishable from the other genera of Bochicidae by the multiseriate setae on the sternites and the possession of numerous microsetae on the stigmata. The only other genera of Bochicinae in which trichobothrium ist is slightly proximal of est are Bochica Chamberlin, 1930, Troglobochica Muchmore, 1984 (Muchmore 1984) and Spelaeobochica allodentatus Mahnert, 2001 (Mahnert 2001) . In Antillobisium Dumitresco &amp; Orghidan, 1977 both trichobothria are at about the same level (Dumitresco &amp; Orghidan 1977), whereas ist is far proximal to est in the Leucohyinae (Muchmore 1998) . The new genus is distinguishable from Antillobisium, Bochica and Troglobochica by the number of blades and form of the cheliceral rallum. It is also clearly different to Spelaeobochica Mahnert, 2001 (Mahnert 2001) by the basal position of trichobothrium ib on the dorsum of the hand versus distal, and the absence of accessory teeth in the chelal fingers versus presence.</p><p>The new genus resembles Troglobisium Beier, 1939, the only representative of the family Bochicidae previously known in Europe (Zaragoza 2004, 2007), by the large size and exceptionally slender appendages, the venom apparatus only in the movable finger and the rounded tip of the fixed chelal finger with a simple row of sclerotized denticles (J.A. Zaragoza, pers. obs. on Troglobisium specimens). Both genera are distinct by the shape of the chelal hand, which is subparallel in Troglobisium and convex paraxially in Titanobochica, the position of trichobothrium ist distal to est in Troglobisium and proximal in the new genus, cheliceral palm with four setae (occasionally five or six setae) in Titanobochica versus five in Troglobisium, cheliceral rallum with five blades in Titanobochica versus only four in Troglobisium, and in particular by the uniseriate sternal setae in Troglobisium versus multiseriate in Titanobochica.</p><p>The genus Vachonium Chamberlin, 1947 shares some features with both European genera, such as the fixed chelal finger with rounded tip and venom apparatus reduced or absent and the number and shape of the blades of the cheliceral rallum, but it differs by the higher number of setae on the cheliceral hand (about 8 versus 4–5 in the European genera), the end of the fixed chelal finger bearing some heavily sclerotized denticles in a double row versus a simple row, presence of an accessory tooth on the internal side of the fixed finger versus absent and the presence of a prominent glandular tubercle at the base of the antiaxial face of the pedipalpal femur versus absent. Paravachonium Beier, 1956 shares with Troglobisium and Titanobochica the fixed chelal finger with rounded tip and a simple row of sclerotized denticles, the absence of a glandular tubercle on pedipalpal femur and the lack of an accessory tooth paraxially on the fixed chelal finger, but the index F/F+P of leg IV is clearly higher in Paravachonium among other distinctive characters.</p><p>The new genus includes the largest species within the Bochicidae, even when compared with other “giant” genera, Antillobisium, Paravachonium, Spelaeobochica, Troglobisium, Troglohya Beier, 1956 and Vachonium, as shown in the length of parameters such as body length 6 mm versus 5 mm and chela length about 6 mm versus less than 5 mm.</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/03962D07777E4242FF49F88EFD87F86B	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

No significant differences are found in the form and length of the cheliceral galea between males, females and nymphs.</p><p>The development of the chelal femur length and slenderness relative to the other pedipalpal articles is progressive from the nymphal to adult stages, as shown in the ratios of the femur, femur/fixed finger and chela/femur (Table 2).</p><p>Heterodentate marginal teeth of fixed chelal finger have been previously reported in Bochicidae for Vachonium boneti Chamberlin, 1947 (Chamberlin 1947) .</p><p>Presence of chemosensory setae on the palm of the chela was reported for Bochicidae by Judson (2007), who assumed the chemosensory function of these setae because they are smaller, thinner and more strongly inclined than ordinary setae.</p><p>Tritonymphs and deutonymphs show tarsi swollen basally, which does not occur in adults. Basally swollen tarsi have been described for nymphs and, exceptionally, for adults of some genera of the family Syarinidae: Pseudoblothrus Beier (Vachon 1954), Hadoblothrus Beier and Microcreagrella Beier (Mahnert 1980) . In the family Bochicidae this characteristic has also been reported for nymphal stages of the genera Mexobisium Muchmore, 1972, Paravachonium and Vachonium (Muchmore 1973a, 1973b, 1982c), to which Titanobochica is now added; apparently in correlation with this characteristic, the nymphal stages of these bochicid genera also usually show fused metatarsi and tarsi of legs I and II (Muchmore 1973a, 1973b, 1982c). Titanobochica shows a rigid suture between metatarsi and tarsi of legs I–II in adults and tritonymphs, whereas in deutonymphs they have a very indistinct, almost unrecognizable suture.</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/03962D077778424CFF49FF16FC4EFA8B	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.
