Cave-dwelling species of Brasineura Silva-Neto & García Aldrete, 2015 (Psocodea: Ptiloneuridae) from southwestern Brazil: new species, wing variation, and new geographic and troglophile status records Natália Soares Reategui, Antoniel Francisco Pereira, Rodrigo Lopes Ferreira, Rafael Boldrini, José Albertino Rafael, Alberto Moreira Da Silva-Neto European Journal of Taxonomy, 2026 Three new troglophilic species of Brasineura Silva-Neto & García Aldrete, 2015 are described and illustrated herein: Brasineura hpba Reategui, Pereira, Rafael & Silva-Netosp. nov., B. renaissance Reategui, Pereira, Rafael & Silva-Neto sp. nov., and B. vicentoi Reategui, Pereira, Rafael & Silva-Neto sp. nov. Intraspecific variation in wing venation is documented for the newly described taxa. Additionally, we report for the first time the occurrence of B. serranortensis Silva-Neto, García Aldrete & Rafael, 2016 and B.spinosa Silva-Neto, García Aldrete & Rafael, 2018 within cave environments. An updated distribution map of the species of Brasineura in Brazil is provided, along with an identification key based on male morphological characters. With the inclusion of these new records, the number of the species of Brasineura known from Brazil rises to ten. This study significantly advances the understanding of the diversity and distribution of free-living lice associated with Brazilian cave ecosystems.
Three new species of Euplocania Enderlein (Psocodea, ‘Psocoptera’, Ptiloneuridae), for the state of Roraima, Brazil Antoniel Francisco Pereira, Alberto Moreira da Silva-Neto, Rafael Boldrini Papeis Avulsos De Zoologia, 2022 The three new species of Brazilian Euplocania are described and illustrated, two species belong in the amabilis species group (Euplocania maraca sp. nov. and Euplocania ufrr sp. nov.) and one species belong in the marginata species group (Euplocania macuxi sp. nov.). Information on species groups, species subgroups and distribution by Brazilian states is included for known species of Euplocania.
