Summary:

A team of scientists

unearthed a treasure trove of rare blind cave beetles. The description of seven
new species of underground Trechinae beetles attests for the Du'an karst as the
most diverse area for these cave dwellers in China.

A team of scientists
specializing in cave biodiversity from the South China Agricultural University
(Guangzhou) unearthed a treasure trove of rare blind cave beetles. The
description of seven new species of underground Trechinae beetles, published in the open access
journalZooKeys,
attests for the Du'an karst as the most diverse area for these cave dwellers in
China.




"China is becoming more and more fascinating for those who study cave
biodiversity, because it holds some of the most morphologically adapted
cavernicolous animals in the world. This is specifically true for fishes and
the threchine beetles, the second of which is also the group featured in this
study," explains the senior author of the study Prof. Mingyi Tian.

Like most cavernicolous species, Trechinae cave beetles
shows a number of specific adaptations, such as lack of eyes and colour, which
are traits common among cave dwellers.

The new Trechinae beetles belong to the genusDongodytes whose
members are easily recognizable by their extraordinary slender and very
elongated body. Members of this genus are usually very rare in caves, with only
five species reported from China before now.

During the recent study of the cave systems in Du'an karst however this
numbers drastically changed, Out of the 48 visited caves 12 held populations of
trechine beetles. A total of 103 samples were collected, out of which the team
of scientists determined ten different species, seven of which are new to
science.

"This new discovery casts a new light on the importance of the Du'an
Karst as a biological hotspot for cavernicolous Trechinae in
China," adds Prof. Mingyi Tian.
