The genus Inversotyphlus Strasser, 1962, stat. nov. and Inversotyphlusammirandus sp. nov., a new bizarre, highly modified troglobiotic millipede (Diplopoda, Julida, Julidae) from Albania, Balkan Peninsula

Inversotyphlus Strasser, 1962, stat. nov. is raised to the genus level and a new hydrophilous species, Inversotyphlusammirandussp. nov., is described from the second deepest pit in Albania. This species is characterized by a highly modified head and body for a presumably semiaquatic or hygropetric l...

description Inversotyphlus Strasser, 1962, stat. nov. is raised to the genus level and a new hydrophilous species, Inversotyphlusammirandussp. nov., is described from the second deepest pit in Albania. This species is characterized by a highly modified head and body for a presumably semiaquatic or hygropetric life and filtering diet. It is by far the most bizarrely modified cave-dwelling julid known. The new species is diagnosed, described in detail, and richly illustrated. Besides I.ammirandussp. nov., the genus Inversotyphlusstat. nov. includes six species: I.clavatus (Antić, 2018), comb. nov., I.edentulus (Attems, 1951), comb. nov., I.gellianae (Makarov & Rađa, 2006), comb. nov., I.gracilis (Antić, 2018), comb. nov., I.lobifer (Attems, 1951), comb. nov., and I.opisthonodus (Antić, 2018) comb. nov. The subgenus Attemsotyphlussyn. nov. is here considered as a junior subjective synonym of the genus Inversotyphlusstat. nov. Notes are given on the habitat of I.ammirandussp. nov., the taxonomy of the tribe Typhloiulini and the genus Inversotyphlusstat. nov., and adaptive modifications of the mouthparts.
