Abstract:
Quaestus (Quaesticulus) pasensis sp. nov. is described from several caves in the Churrón-Millajo Cave karst system (Municipal Districts of Luena and Vega de Pas, Cantabria, Spain), a part of the karst region of Ocejo (Montes de Pas). The new species may be easily recognized by the distinct structures of the male and female genitalia (spermathecal complex), and especially by the peculiar shape of antennae. The taxonomic position of the new species is discussed, particularly its differences and similarities with morphologically and geographically proximate species, and affinities with two closely related species, Q. (Quaesticulus) minos (Jeannel, 1909) and Q. (Quaesticulus) autumnalis (Escalera, 1898). Biological and ecological data are provided. A key to the species of the subgenus Quaesticulus Schaufuss, 1861 is included.
