ZooKeys 518: 155-156. doi: 10.3897/zookeys.5 18.9684 5 This book concerns the review of both the his- aes EO a ee tory of speleology in southern Spain and the | SUBTERRANEOS DE JAEN invertebrate fauna of Jaen province within two oe parts: (1) “Historia de la Espeleologia en Anda- lucia’; and (2) “Medio subterraneo y organismos hipogeos’. First contributions were carried out very early in the 20° century by Abbé Henri Breuil, Pierre-Jules Rambur, Lucas von Hey- den, and Georg Dieck. However, until the late 1940s and early 1950s, no more studies were attempted. From this time, different researchers such as Joaquin Mateu, Antonio Cobos, and Dr Francesc Espanol, begun to study the area and increase research output. During the 1970s to 1990s, many entomologists and biospeleologists Investigacion subterranca y catalago belonging to different societies sampled in the Andalusian caves. At the beginning of the 21" century, amateur societies such as “Grupo de Espeleologia de Villacarrillo’ (G.E.V.), ‘Espeleo Club Almeria’, “Grupo de Exploraciones Subterraneas de la Sociedad Excur- Copyright Francisco Javier Peris-Felipo.

In the second part, an explanation of the ecological subterranean landscape and the list of recorded hypogeal species from Jaen province are provided in 26 chapters. The authors list them by phylum, order, family, and species. Additionally, short descrip- tions of each species, its distribution, habitat, and/or some pictures are provided. A total of 290 hypogeal species are listed including the phyla Annelida (2), Cheli- cerata (41), Crustacea (18), Hexapoda (148), Mollusca (16), Myriapoda (23), and Nematoda (42). These species belong to 31 orders; among them, Coleoptera is the most abundant. Also, 31 species were recorded for the first time in Andalucia: Ablechroiulus spelaeus, Acipes andalusius, Atheta tenebrarum, Camaeus gevi, Chthonius (Ephippiochtho- nius) cazorlensis, Ch. (E.) espanyoli, Ch. (E.) giennensis, Ch. (E.) perezi, Ch. (E.) villa- carrillo, Ceratosphys jabaliensis, Coletinia tinauti, Corynoptera latibula, Domene cavicola, D. perezi, Habrocerus ibericus, Laemostenus (A.) cazorlensis cazorlensis, L. (A.) cazorlensis divergens, Nemastomella gevia, Neobisium (Ommatoblothrus) espinoi, N. (O.) perezi, N. (O.) perezruizi, Nesticus baeticus, Petaloptila (Zapetaloptila) carabajali, P. (Z.) mogon, Protonemura gevi, Pseudosinella baeticaense, Psichrosoma baeticaense, Pygmarrhopalites perezi, Stegelletina coprohila, Tinautius troglophilus, and Trichoniscus perezi. To conclude the book, the authors provide information about the distribution of caves with a complete listing and map. This book is essential reading to increase and understand to the history of Andalusian speleology and, especially, to acquire know- ledge of species that live in these somewhat surprising habitats. 2013, Grupo Espeleologia Villacarrillo, Jaén, 188 p., Deposito Legal: J 448-2013 23.6 x 16.9 cm, colour, 13 € ($ 14).
