Shineleochhonius) from the caves in South Korea revealed by Integrative Taxonomy

Karst Research in Korea is still in its childhood and the invertebrate fauna of subterranean systems across the country is poorly aware. One of the different lines of caves in Korea, pseudoscorpions, almost no arrival even when they represent the odd examples of cave adaptations and troghomorhorphism. In this study, we provide a phylogenetic hypothesis for pseudoscorpion Spelolaochonius Morikawa, 1954 (Pseudoscorpiones: Pseudotyrannochoniidae) in South Korea; A genus exclusively occurs in china caves, Japan and Korea Peninsula. We reported seven species where the four were freshly described and described based on molecular, distribution data and morphological and morphological data: Spelolachhonius dugigulenis Fountain. noVeMber,, S. Geumguleensis Fountain. noVeMber,, S. Magwirammigulensis Fountain. NO. and S. Yamigulenis Fountain. NO. All species are strongly adapted to the cave from a cave or karst system only, emphasizing the need to implement caution methods for Korean systems.
