Cave-dwelling Neobisiidae in South China Karst, with descriptions of twelve new species of Bisetocreagris (Pseudoscorpiones, Neobisiidae) from Guizhou Province

Twelve new species of troglomorphic pseudoscorpions from the genus Bisetocreagris (Family Neobisiidae) have been discovered in karst caves across Guizhou Province, China. These species exhibit notable adaptations to subterranean life and were identified through detailed morphological analysis, including diagnoses, descriptions, and illustrations. The findings expand the known biodiversity of cave-dwelling pseudoscorpions in the South China Karst, a region renowned for its unique geological and ecological significance as part of UNESCO World Heritage Sites.
