Pseudocryptic diversityThe richness was the measure of the subterranean diversity, we surveyed all data about previous records for Brazilian Collembola cave species, ecological status, lithology, and distribution from the literature, and included 11 newly found pseudocryptic species from subterranean habitats in iron and limestone rock. The pseudocryptic species were verified by comparison of chaetotaxy and “micro-morphology” through optic and scanning microscopy of disjunct populations of a widespread morphotype. The imagery was compared under hypotheses of chaetotaxic and morphologic homology, previously defined by different authors. Those populations with consistent discrete chaetotaxic and morphologic patterns were assumed to be independent species, therefore they were taxonomically diagnosed, named, and ordered in a dichotomic identification key with all Brazilian species of the genus.MicroscopySpecimens were preserved in ethanol 70% and mounted on slides following Jordana et al.31, after clearing using Nesbitt’s solution for study under phase contrast microscope, line drawings were made with help of a drawing tube. For scanning electronic microscope (SEM) study, specimens were dehydrated by ethanol, dried in a critical point dryer, and covered in gold.HomologyThe terminology used in the diagnoses for the hypotheses of homology followed: labial chaetotaxy after Gisin32 with additions of Zhang and Pan33, Fjellberg34 for labial palp papillae and maxillary palp; postlabial chaetotaxy after Chen and Christiansen35, with adaptations of Cipola et al.36 for J series; clypeal chaetotaxy after Yoshii and Suhardjono37; labral chaetotaxy after Cipola et al.38; unguiculus lamellae after Hüther39; Anterior dens chaetotaxy after Oliveira et al.40; Mari-Mutt41 for dorsal head chaetotaxy, with additions of Soto-Adames42; Szeptycki43 and Zhang and Deharveng44 for S-chaetotaxy; and Szeptycki45 for dorsal chaetotaxy, with additions and modifications provided by Soto-Adames42 and Zhang et al.46. Symbols used to depict the chaetotaxy are presented in Fig. 4A–C. Codes will be used in italics along the text to replace the morphological description of each chaeta and sensillum type. Additional information about morphology and chaetotaxy of discussed species was obtained from the literature.Abbreviations used in the diagnosesAnt–antennal segment(s); b.c.–basal chaeta(e), t.a.–terminal appendage of the maxillary palp; l.p.–lateral process of labial papilla E, lpc–labial proximal chaeta(e); Th–thoracic segment; Abd–abdominal segment(s); Omt–trochanteral organ; a.e.–antero-external lamella, a.i.–antero-internal lamella, a.t.–unguis apical tooth, b.a.–basal anterior tooth of unguis, b.p.–basal posterior tooth of unguis, m.t.–unguis median tooth, p.i.–postero-internal lamella, p.e.–postero-external lamella; mac–macrochaeta(e), mes–mesochaeta(e), mic–microchaeta(e), ms–specialized microchaeta(e), psp–pseudopore(s), sens–specialized ordinary chaeta(e) (sensillum), MSS–Mesovoid Shallow Substratum.Ecological statusTo avoid subjectivity and ambiguity to determine the ecological status of the species, we assumed to be a troglobite all the species with some degree of troglomorphism exclusively distributed in the subterranean environment, either caves, MSS, or both. Species distributed in the surface and subterranean habitats were assumed to be troglophiles.Identification Key for the known and new species of the genus Trogolaphysa recorded in Brazil
