A new pseudoscorpion from bosnia: Roncus bosniensis n. Sp. (neobisiidae, pseudoscorpiones)

Abstract

A new species of troglobitic false scorpion, Roncus bosniens is n. sp. (Neobisiidae, Pseudoscorpiones), is described from inside an underground habitat, the Jama Pored Puta Pit, nr. Jajce, Bos nia and Herzegovina. The analyzed pseudoscorpion proves to differ from all other congeners, but is closest to R. hajnehaj Ćurčić & Dimitrijević. It is possible that the subterranean pseudoscorpion analyzed represents a relict of an old tropical faunal pattern of the Mediterranean.
