in the northeastern United States. Currently, 22 described species occur in<br />
the state, of which 6 are given S1 status, and 3 are introduced species.<br />
One species, Orconectes limosus (Spinycheek Crayfish) is considered<br />
extirpated within the past decade. Imperiled species include Cambarus<br />
veteranus (Big Sandy Crayfish), Cambarus elkensis (Elk River Crayfish),<br />
Cambarus longulus (Atlantic Slope Crayfish), and Cambarus nerterius<br />
(Greenbrier Cave Crayfish). Three species - O. virilis (Virile Crayfish),<br />
Orconectes rusticus (Rusty Crayfish), and Procambarus zonangulus<br />
(Southern White River Crawfish) - have introduced populations within<br />
the state. Procambarus acutus (White River Crawfish) occurs in<br />
bottomland forest along the Ohio River floodplain, and is considered<br />
native. Several undescribed taxa have been identified and currently are<br />
being described. A statewide survey was initiated in 2007 to document<br />
the current distribution and conservation status of crayfishes in West<br />
Virginia.<br />

new cave scorpion of the family Pseudochactidae Gromov<br />
(Chelicerata, Scorpiones) from Vietnam. ZooKeys 71:1-13.<br />
DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.3897/zookeys.71.786. ABS: A new<br />
genus and species of scorpion belonging to the family Pseudochactidae<br />
are described based on four specimens collected in the Tien Son cave at<br />
the Phong Nha - Ke Bang National Park, Quang Binh Province, Vietnam.<br />
The new species represents a true troglobitic element, the first one known<br />
for the family Pseudochactidae. This represents the third known record of<br />
a pseudochactid, and the first from Vietnam. KW: Scorpion, Vietnam,<br />

87154-46-5, 380 p. ABS: Parasitism is one of the most successful<br />
modes of life. The transition to a parasitic lifestyle is associated to many<br />
advantages to parasites, which may include a stable environment, passive<br />
mobility, and a lower investment in nutritional functions. However, it<br />
also involves a variety of adaptive challenges that had to be met by<br />
parasites: In some cases they had to evolve ways to disperse between<br />
hosts that are often discontinuously distributed in space and time; they<br />
had to adapt to the frequent presence of potential competing parasites<br />
within the confined space of the host’s body; and had to balance the<br />
exploitation of resources of a host with the need to keep it alive. The<br />
main aim of this five-year research work was to determine how bat<br />
ectoparasites have overcome some of these challenges and successfully<br />
adapted to their hosts, using two temperate-zone cave dwelling bats<br />
(Miniopterus schreibersii and Myotis myotis) and its ectoparasites as<br />
model systems. We found that a group of specific bat ectoparasites, the<br />
nycteribiids, was able to overcome the spatial unpredictability of its hosts<br />
within caves by evolving efficient sensorial mechanisms to locate them<br />
from a distance. In addition, some parasitic mites, ticks and nycteribiids<br />
were found to deal with the temporal unpredictability of their bat hosts,<br />
by maximising their reproduction during the reproductive period of bats,<br />
when more hosts were available and particularly vulnerable. Also, data<br />
showed that competition is likely to occur among bat parasite species,<br />
even if for short-term periods, influencing the structure of their<br />
communities. And finally, found evidence that the cost of parasitism by<br />
mites can be sufficiently severe to affect the body condition of their bat<br />
host. We discuss how these potential costs may play a role in the social<br />
structure of the bat. Overall, this study provided evidences that bat<br />
parasites have tightly coevolved with their hosts. Some of conclusions<br />
discussed here are likely to apply to other host-parasite systems involving<br />
bats in temperate-zones.<br />

269-286-5. ABS: For the last five years authors of this presentation<br />
have filmed macro scenes of cave fauna during biospeleological research<br />
in different parts of Croatia. All video material is filmed in situ using a<br />
Sony MiniDV camcorder DCR-HC1000. While observed and filmed<br />
many of species continued with their normal activities of feeding,<br />
exploring, moving around, mating, cleaning or interacting with another<br />
individual or species. Scenes chosen for this film show these interesting<br />
moments of cave life like: mating and feeding of Alpioniscus, entering a<br />
basin of stagnant water by Titanethes, feeding in Aranea, Chilopoda and<br />
Opiliones, grooming behavior in Chthonius, Parastalita and<br />
Eupolybothrus, and other interesting scenes. Macro filming of cave fauna<br />
discovers, in a unique way, interesting animals seen from different<br />
perspective in their natural environment. http://www.icsb<strong>2010</strong>.net/<br />

Extreme troglomorphy in a new species of cave springtail,<br />
Tritomurus sp. nov., from Croatia (Collembola:<br />

<strong>2010</strong> Abstract Book, edited by: Ajda MOŠKRIČ and Peter<br />
TRONTELJ, ISBN 978-961-269-286-5. ABS: The family<br />
Tomoceridae includes 133 species in 16 genera. In the caves of Europe,<br />
Eastern Asia and northern America there are about 30 troglobiotic<br />
species. However, few species exhibit strong morphological adaptations<br />
to cave life. The most remarkable in this respect is Tritomurus falcifer<br />
Cassagnau, 1958. We present from Biokovo Mt. in Croatia a second<br />
highly troglomorphic species, Tritomurus sp. nov. Tritomurus sp. nov.<br />
was collected from -170 to -430 meters in Amfora jama pit. All<br />
specimens were found in the thin water-film flowing on vertical walls or<br />
very close to it (hygropetric habitat). A number of caves were explored<br />
during the last years on Biokovo but Tritomurus sp. nov. was not found in<br />
any other cave, probably because cave hygropetric is practically<br />
inaccessible for investigation in most of them. Interestingly, the rare<br />
Tritomurus falcifer from Pyrenean caves of the Arbas massif, very similar<br />
morphologically to Tritomurus sp. nov., also lives in the hygropetric.<br />
Both have the ventro-apical labial brush particularly developed. This<br />
mouthpart modification recalls similar filtrating structures observed in<br />
other species of the cave hygropetric, and suggests special feeding habits.<br />
Both of these species has remarkable slender claw as an adaptation to<br />
cave life and walking in the hygropetric. http://www.icsb<strong>2010</strong>.net/<br />

A new relictual and highly troglomorphic species of<br />
Tomoceridae (Collembola) from a deep Croatian cave.<br />
ZooKeys 69:1-16. DOI:<br />
http://dx.doi.org/10.3897/zookeys.69.739. ABS: Tritomurus<br />
veles sp. n. (Tomoceridae) is described from a Croatian cave. It is<br />
characterized by troglomorphic features (absence of eyes, reduced<br />
pigmentation, slender claw, pointed tibiotarsal tenent hairs) that only<br />
compare, among Tomoceridae, to the microendemic species T. falcifer<br />
from the Pyrénées. Tritomurus veles also shares with T. falcifer the<br />
absence of macrochaetae on head, a presumably non-adaptive character<br />
that within Tomoceridae is unique to these two species. Both species have<br />
no known epigean relatives in their respective distribution areas and can
