Diagnosis
A species of Stygiiulus stat. nov. with normal mouthparts. Easily distinguishable from congeners by its specific gonopod conformation ( Fig. 10E View Fig ) including a narrow, pointed velum considerably exceeding the solenomere and bearing a small, pointed, distal outgrowth (do) (the latter structure present also in S. insularis comb. nov. and in (some specimens of) S. tobias comb. nov.), in combination with the complete absence of a posterior hump on the opisthomere. Also outstanding by the small and rounded internal lobe of the promere, which is positioned close to promeral base.
Distribution
Germany, Upper Bavaria, Berchtesgadener Land, Untersberg Massif, Cave Hollerloch (the type locality); Austria, Dachstein Mts, tunnel Warmwasserstollen near Lake Hallstatt and Obere Brangrabenhöhle Cave ( Fritsch 1998) ( Fig. 13 View Fig , orange squares).
Remark
Fritsch (1998) listed this species under the genus Typhloiulus , relying on J.-P. Mauriès’ opinion expressed in a letter to him. According to Mauriès who studied material of seewaldi , the erection of the genus Alpityphlus by Strasser (1967) was unfounded, the species being a member of Stygiiulus , at that time a subgenus of Typhloiulus . A similar view was expressed by Antić et al. (2017, 2018), but without a formal transfer to Stygiiulus . Based on the detailed original drawings we fully agree on that view, hence the new name combination is formalized here.
