Only a single blind species is known in the centipede family Scolopendridae, representing the monotypic genus Tonkinodentus Schileyko, 1992, from Vietnam. All of more than 400 other species have four ocelli on each side of the cephalic plate. A complex of three new blind species of the genus Cormocephalus Newport, 1844, is described from the subterranean fauna of the central Pilbara region of Western Australia. Phylogenies based on sequence data for the barcode region of COI and a concatenated matrix that also includes 12S rRNA, 28S rRNA and ITS2 unite the blind Pilbara species as a monophyletic group, albeit with moderate bootstrap support, informally named the C. sagmus species group. Cormocephalus sagmus, C. pyropygus and C. delta spp. nov. supplement 17 epigean congeners previously described from Australia. The new species are all morphologically similar, but can be distinguished using the shape and spinulation of the ultimate leg prefemur. Two additional genetically distinct lineages were recovered that are not described, owing to the specimens being immature or lacking diagnostic morphological characters. The subterranean radiation in the Pilbara is more closely related to species from forests in the south-west of Western Australia than to congeners from the arid zone. http://zoobank.org/urn:lsid:zoobank.org:pub:6F67FD31-A373-4DC5-A5FD-374D32DEE02C

来自西澳大利亚地下栖息地的 Cormocephalus 属的盲蜈蚣 (Myriapoda: Scolopendromorpha: Scolopendridae)

在蜈蚣科蜈蚣科中只知道一个盲种，代表单型属 Tonkinodentus Schileyko，1992，来自越南。所有超过 400 种其他物种在头板的每一侧都有四个单眼。1844 年，从西澳大利亚皮尔巴拉中部地区的地下动物群中描述了一种由 Cormocephalus Newport 属的三个新盲种组成的复合体，1844 年。基于 COI 条形码区域的序列数据和还包括 12S rRNA、28S rRNA 和 ITS2 的串联矩阵的系统发育将盲皮尔巴拉物种作为一个单系群联合起来，尽管有适度的引导支持，非正式地命名为 C. sagmus 物种群。Cormocephalus sagmus、C.pyrpygus 和 C. delta spp。十一月 补充先前从澳大利亚描述的 17 种表观同源物。新物种在形态上都相似，但可以通过最终腿前股骨的形状和旋转来区分。由于标本未成熟或缺乏诊断形态特征，因此恢复了两个额外的遗传不同谱系，但未对其进行描述。皮尔巴拉的地下辐射与来自西澳大利亚西南部森林的物种的关系比与来自干旱区的同类物种的关系更密切。http://zoobank.org/urn:lsid:zoobank.org:pub:6F67FD31-A373-4DC5-A5FD-374D32DEE02C 皮尔巴拉的地下辐射与来自西澳大利亚西南部森林的物种的关系比与来自干旱区的同类物种的关系更密切。http://zoobank.org/urn:lsid:zoobank.org:pub:6F67FD31-A373-4DC5-A5FD-374D32DEE02C 皮尔巴拉的地下辐射与来自西澳大利亚西南部森林的物种的关系比与来自干旱区的同类物种的关系更密切。http://zoobank.org/urn:lsid:zoobank.org:pub:6F67FD31-A373-4DC5-A5FD-374D32DEE02C
