The newly established family undoubtedly belongs to the suborder Craspedosomatidea. However, considering that the higher classification of the entire order is obviously very chaotic, it is difficult to assign it to a suprafamiliar place at the moment. In any case, it seems to us that Guipuzcosomatidae fam. nov. can find its place within any of the two superfamilies Anthroleucosomatoidea (primarily Anthogonidae and Vandeleumatidae) and Cleidogonoidea since it can be compared to some of their families. We believe that it is superfluous to compare this family with the representatives of other superfamilies of the suborder Craspedosomatidea or with the remaining three suborders, viz., Chordeumatidea, Heterochordeumatidea and Striariidea, since it seems they have nothing in common to the newly established family.</p> <p>Guipuzcosomatidae fam. nov. differs from the member of the superfamilies Anthroleucosomatoidea and Cleidogonoidea by the following combination of characters: male pregonopodal legs 3–7 not incrassate and without tarsal papillae; postgonopodal legs 10 and 11 with coxal sacks, additionally leg 10 with short trochanteral and leg 11 with short coxal process, no other peculiarities; gonopodal sternum of both anterior and posterior gonopods poorly developed and poorly chitinized, mainly membranous; anterior gonopods with striking second pair of angiocoxites starting laterally from coxites, with two branches one with a few very long, flagelliform processes; colpocoxites of the anterior gonopods strongly developed, divided, strongly chitinized, only with rounded membranous remnants; posterior gonopods modified, not leg-like, without articulation and with well-developed, partially chitinized colpocoxites. Fortunately, in many taxa from the superfamilies Anthroleucosomatoidea and Cleidogonoidea vulvae are known, but in none of them they are medially fused, as it is in Guipuzcosomatidae fam. nov. where vulvae are characterized with a striking, chitinized and massive medial bursal structure posteriorly, as one of the possible autapomorphies.</p> <p>For more detailed comparison of the new family with some members of Chordeumatida see the discussion.</p> </div>	http://treatment.plazi.org/id/03E387B4FFC3CD0856C40817FAD0FA73	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

In addition to the above-mentioned combination of characters, the genus Guipuzcosoma clearly differs from all other chordeumatidan genera by very characteristic posterior gonopods whose coxotelopodites have a pair of striking distomesal horns.</p> <p>Short description. Medium-sized chordeumatidans, with body length 7–10 mm, and with 30 rings (including telson) in adults. Body rings with dorsolateral humps, bearing stout, long and trichoid macrochaetae (Haasea - type). Head with frontal side slightly concave in males, convex in females, with 12–17 ommatidia. Legs without tarsal papillae. Pregonopodal legs 3–7 not enlarged; coxa 7 with mesal bump, no other peculiarities. Leg-pair 10 in males with coxal sacks and with short triangular trochanteral bumps; leg-pair 11 in males with coxal sacks and with short nippled coxal process. Anterior gonopods: gonopodal sternum poorly developed and poorly chitinized, mainly membranous. Coxites wide in lateral view, with two pairs of angiocoxites, the second pair being twobranched with striking anterior branch composed of a few very long flagelloid processes. Colpocoxites strongly developed, massive, chitinized, only with rounded membranous remnants, distal parts strongly curved anteriad in the form of long horns. Posterior gonopods: gonopodal sternum poorly developed, membranous, only with anterior pair of concave bulges chitinized; coxotelopodites well-developed, massive, looking more robust than the anterior gonopods, distally with long setae, subdistally with pigmented remnants, mesally with two striking horns. Leg-pair 3 in females with sternal lobes. Vulvae unique, with poorly chitinized postgenital membranous structure, strongly developed and wrinkled; mesal valves of bursa completely fused, only with anterior fissure as evidence of former separation, posteriorly forming striking unpaired medial structure.</p> <p>Distribution. Known only from a few localities in the provinces of Alava, Gipuzkoa and Navarre, northern Spain (Fig. 12).</p></div> 	http://treatment.plazi.org/id/03E387B4FFC3CD0956C40C5CFEE0FDA9	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

Differs from both congeners in the structure of the angiocoxites 1, which are characterized by a completely reduced distal processes, in the form of a lateral bump whose height does not exceed the height of the posterior processes of angiocoxites 1. In the two new species this structure is strongly developed and elongated, clearly surpassing the posterior one. Further, G. comasi is characterized by semicircular expanded lateral parts of the colpocoxites in posterior view, while in the two new species these structures are more or less subtriangular. The anterior part of the medial bursal structure of the vulvae in G. comasi is heart-shaped, while in two new species it is more or less subquadrangular. Significant differences also exist in the shape of the posterior part of the medial structure of the vulvae in all three species.</p> <p>Remarks. This species is known only from the type material including a holotype male and two paratype females. After the original description, the species was not found again.</p> <p>In the original description, Vicente &amp; Mauriès (1980: 12) incorrectly labelled the anterior gonopods, thus gave a wrong description of, and terms for, certain parts of the gonopods, mixing the anterior and posterior view [Vicente &amp; Mauriès (1980: figs 7, 9)]. This has led to the misinterpretation of the angiocoxite and colpocoxite, which were incorrectly labelled and described. This is corrected and modified here (Fig. 1).</p> <p>Also, Vicente &amp; Mauriès (1980: 13) stated that leg-pairs 7, 10 and 11 are without peculiarities. Since we found certain structures on these legs in the two new species, it is possible that they were overlooked in G. comasi. Thus, we prefer not to use these characters in the diagnosis when comparing G. comasi with the two newly described species. Additionally, a pair of anterior concave bulges of the gonopodal sternum of the posterior gonopods were found in both new species, but these structures were not stated for G. comasi.</p> <p>Even though this species is known only from one cave so far, based on the discovery of two new species not so far away in epigean habitats, G. comasi, which also could have a larger number of ommatidia compared to two newly described congeners, can at best be characterized as a troglophile.</p> <p>Distribution. Known only from its type locality, Sima Aundia III Cave (= Leize Aundia III), part of the Sabesaia—Leize Aundia system, Ernio Massif, near Alkiza, Gipuzkoa province (Fig. 12, red circle).</p></div> 	http://treatment.plazi.org/id/03E387B4FFC2CD0956C409DAFB5EF806	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

Length/breadth ratios of antennomeres I–VII: I (1), II (2), III (4), IV (2), V (3.5), VI (1) and VII (1.3). Antennomeres II, IV, V, VI and VII with one, three, one, four and one sensillum trichoideum, respectively (Fig. 8C). Lateral to antennal sockets a group of papillae-like outgrowths present (Fig. 8A, B). Number of ommatidia: 13 in 4 rows in both sexes, arranged in irregular subtriangle (Fig. 8B).</p> <p>COLLUM. Narrower than head, with six macrochaetae, as all body rings. Anterior edge semi-circular, posterior margin gently concave.</p> <p>BODY RINGS (Figs 7, 8D–F). With lateral humps. Macrochaetae long and trichoid (Fig. 8D–F). CIX (ring 15) = 1; MIX (ring 15) ~ 2; PIX (ring 15) = 0.8; MA (ring 15) ~ 110˚. Prozonites with hexagonal tiles. Metazonites dorsally with scale-like structures, lateroventrally striated. Lateral parts of humps smooth.</p> <p>TELSON. Epiproct with a pair of spinnerets and 3+3 setae (1+1 paramedian, 2+2 marginal). Hypoproct with 1+1 distal setae. Paraprocts with 3+3 marginal setae in distal part.</p> <p>LEG- PAIRS 1 AND 2. In both sexes with tarsal combs; femora with several long and robust setae; postfemora and tibiae each with several long and robust setae arranged in a group.</p> <p>MALE SEXUAL CHARACTERS (Fig. 9B–C). Leg-pair 2 with genital openings on coxae. Leg-pairs 3–7 enlarged compared to leg-pairs 1 and 2. Coxa 7 with mesal bump directed posterolaterad (Fig. 9B). No other peculiarities on pregonopodal legs. Leg-pair 10 with coxal sacks and with short triangular trochanteral bumps (Fig. 9C). Leg-pair 11 with coxal sacks and with short nippled slender coxal process (Fig. 9D).</p> <p>ANTERIOR GONOPODS (Figs 9E, 10A–F, 11A–D). Gonopodal sternum (S) poorly developed, mainly membranous, distomedial parts forming subtriangular structures around round aperture and merging with gonopods. Coxites (Cx) more or less spoon-shaped, wide in lateral view, supporting two pairs of angiocoxites. Anteromedial pair (= angiocoxite 1) (A1) widest in mid-height, its mesoproximal sides accommodate shape of sternal triangle; distal process (dA1) sigmoid with distal parts curved laterad; posterior process (pA1) strongly developed, somewhat claw-like in lateral view with small denticles on posterior margin, skintight to lateral sides of distal extension of colpocoxite (deC). Angiocoxites 2 (A2) divided into two branches, anterior branch (aA2) consisting of several flagelloid processes with denticulated posterior margins distally; posterior branch (pA2) long, acuminate, with longitudinal striations, leans on flagelloid processes closing a canal between; both pA1 and pA2 are directed mesad, and slightly posteriad with overlapping distal parts; A2 outgrows all other parts of anterior gonopods. Colpocoxites (C) massive, strongly developed, chitinized; consist of smaller basal protrusions (bc) roundish in lateral view and merged with main massive structures whose distal extensions (deC) are in form of elongated horns strongly bent anteriad and skintight to mesal sides of pA1; posterior mesal protrusions (pC) rounded and laterally flattened with circular membranous remnants (ms) on lateral sides. Between A2 and C, laterally, well-developed structure with large number of long, branched hair-like outgrowths (ho) presents.</p> <p>POSTERIOR GONOPODS (Figs 9F, 10G, 11E, F). Gonopodal sternum (S) poorly developed, membranous, leaving both gonopods almost free; only chitinized part is pair of anterior concave bulges (cb) for accommodation of proximal (basal) parts of posterior gonopods. Coxotelopodites (Ct) massive, without articulation, distally with long setae, while mesally, in upper half, with two striking acuminate horns (h); basomesally with partially chitinized colpocoxites (C) both mainly with one long distal seta and slightly serrated mesal margins. Coxotelopodites subdistally with brownish or blackish pigment remnants (pr). Distal half of Ct slightly curved posteromesad.</p> <p>LEG- PAIR 3 IN FEMALE (Fig. 9A). With lateral sternal lobes.</p> <p>VULVAE (Figs 10H, 11G). With a strongly-developed, massive, wrinkled postgenital membranous structure (Pgm) covering posterior and partially lateral parts of bursae (B). Lateral valves of B rounded posteriorly, without denticles and spicule-like outgrowths in distoposterior ⅔; distoanterior ⅓ wrinkled with long setae. Mesal valves of B completely merged, only with anterior fissure as evidence of former separation; anterior ⅔ wrinkled distally with long setae and straight lateral margins with sharp posterior corners; posterior ⅓ separated from rest by deep depression and represents striking unpaired medial structure (mbs) in the form of mushroom. Operculum (O) bilobed.</p> <p>Remarks. Interestingly, on the SEM micrograph of the vulvae (Fig. 10H) in the fissure between the lateral valves and the medial structures (mesal valve), as well as on the surface of the left lateral valve (highlighted square), structures that we consider to be spermatozoa can be seen. These structures (Fig. 10I, J) are about 12 µm in diameter, and are characterized by a narrow medial protuberance, which rises from the coin-like structure. The medial protuberance could be an acrosome-containing structure, while the basal structure would contain a nucleus. If we are right, these could be the first photographs of spermatozoa in the entire order Chordeumatida. These spermatozoa nicely fit the general appearance of spermatozoa in other Diplopoda, whose hypothetical evolution is presented in Bacceti et al. (1979: 102, fig. 14). It is clear that only cytological methods will show whether the spermatozoa of Chordeumatida belong to the so-called monolayered or bilayered acrosome clade.</p> <p>Distribution. So far, known only from a few localities on the borders between Alava and Gipuzkoa, and Gipuzkoa and Navarre provinces (Fig. 12, blue circles).</p></div> 	http://treatment.plazi.org/id/03E387B4FFC9CD1956C40AC6FCA0FCDE	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.
