Three blind new species of Haloniscus Chilton (Scyphacidae s.l.) from groundwater calcretes in Western Australia are described: H. tomentosus, H. longiantennatus and H. stilifer. A diagnosis of the genus and a key to the species are provided, and its distribution is briefly discussed. Haloniscus stepheni Nicholls and Barnes, is redescribed and transferred to the genus Andricophiloscia Vandel in the family Philosciidae. A further new blind philosciid species collected in the same calcrete system as H. longiantennatus and H. stilifer is described and tentatively ascribed to the genus Andricophiloscia (A. pedisetosa).

Abstract
Three blind new species of Haloniscus Chilton (Scyphacidae s.l.) from groundwater calcretes in Western Australia are described: H. tomentosus, H. longiantennatus and H. stilifer. A diagnosis of the genus and a key to the species are provided, and its distribution is briefly discussed. Haloniscus stepheni Nicholls and Barnes, is redescribed and transferred to the genus Andricophiloscia Vandel in the family Philosciidae. A further new blind philosciid species collected in the same calcrete system as H. longiantennatus and H. stilifer is described and tentatively ascribed to the genus Andricophiloscia (A. pedisetosa).File in questo prodotto:
