A new stygobiotic Stenasellus Dollfus, 1897 (Asellota: Stenasellidae) from Socotra Island, Yemen

Abstract

We describe a new species of Stenasellus Dollfus, 1897 (Isopoda: Asellota: Stenasellidae) from stagnant freshwater habitats in a cave on Socotra Island, Yemen. S. taitii n. sp. is the first endemic stenasellid found in Socotra, showing relatively closer morphological affinities to species from the Middle East (Oman, Iran) than from the African mainland, corresponding to the known paleogeographical connection of the archipelago to Southern Arabia. With notes on the protection of Socotran groundwaters.
