Abstract

After the examination of a large collection of Oniscidea from caves in the Brazilian states of Bahia, Minas Gerais, Para, Sergipe and Sao Paulo, 12 species were recognized in the families Philosciidae and Scleropactidae. Four new species are described: Alboscia jotajota sp. nov. from the Acungui group; Androdeloscia akuanduba sp. nov. and Amazoniscus spica sp. nov. from the Carajas Formation; and Metaprosekia igatuensis sp. nov. from the Quadrilatero Ferrifero karst region. In addition, Atlantoscia inflata, Benthana longicornis, B. olfersii, B. picta and Paratlantoscia rubromarginata (Philosciidae) are recorded from Brazilian caves for the first time; and Benthana iporangensis, B. taeniata and Circoniscus bezzii (Scleropactidae) have the knowledge of their distribution extended to cave habitats.
