Two new cave-adapted Juxtlacampa species from Central America (Diplura: Campodeidae) with new data to disavow the tachycampoid monophyletic line

The short-range distributions of cave-dwelling Campodeidae species, together with their ancient origin, make them a key taxonomic group from a paleogeographical perspective. Nevertheless, the systematic validity of several campodeid lineages remains unresolved. In this paper, we examine the tachycampoid group (sensu Bareth & Condé 1981) by reassessing its principal taxonomic traits in comparison with Campodeinae and Plusiocampinae. We suggest that the monophyly of the entire tachycampoid lineage (sensu Bareth & Condé 1981) should be rejected based on new morphological, and ecological data for several species of Juxtlacampa, Tachycampa, and Paratachycampa. Furthermore, we provide a comprehensive revision of the entire genus Juxtlacampa and describe two new cave-adapted species: Juxtlacampa gabrielleae Sendra & Ferreira sp. nov. and Juxtlacampa xkiq Sendra & Wynne sp. nov.
