Serra do Ramalho

Serra do Ramalho

The caves of the Serro da Ramalho karst area in the southwestern Bahia State, Brazil, have been explored since the early 2000s. The several large cave systems present a great biospeleological potential. Newly discovered species include the first troglobitic Amblypygi recorded for Brazil, "Charinus troglobius" Baptista & Giupponi, 2003, an eyeless harvestman ("Giupponia chagasi" Pérez & Kury, 2002), an as yet undescribed genus of spiders (Ochyroceratidae), and a species of catfish ("Rhamdia enfurnada" Bichuette & Trajano, 2005). [Bichuette & Trajano 2005: 588]
