The new species is easily distinguishable from R. borgesi sp. nov. by the shape of the chelal hand, which is elliptic and widest at middle in R. gepesi versus oval and widest proximad of middle in R. borgesi; also the pedipalps are larger and more slender in R. gepesi. The new species can be differentiated from R. cavernicola by the chelal movable finger/hand+ ratio (1.4, versus 1.7) and by the chaetotaxy of the posterior margin of the carapace (7 setae, versus 4) and of tergite I (6 setae, versus 4). Roncocreagris gepesi is more closely related to R. lucensis Zaragoza, 2002 (from Galicia, Spain), despite being 400 km away, but in the latter the pedipalps are shorter and less slender than in R. borgesi, and the distance between trichobothria et and it is 3.3 times longer than that between it and est in the Spanish species, versus 1.2 in the Portuguese species. Distribution and habitat. Roncocreagris gepesi sp. nov. was collected in Algarinho, one of the caves of the Dueça system, opened in 1998 with the aid of a backhoe (Neves et al. 2005). This species was not found in Soprador do Carvalho, a cave located only 200 m from the entrance of Algarinho Cave. The mean cave temperature is 14.9 ºC at soil level. The new species shares its habitat with other hypogean species, such as the woodlouse Porcellio cavernicolus and the dipluran Podocampa cf. fragiloides.

Remarks. Among the species with 6 setae or more on posterior margin of carapace and tergite I, the new species shares with R. aurouxi Zaragoza, 2000 (from Cantabria, Spain) the simple shape of the cheliceral galea, although it should be noted that the types of the two species belong to different sexes (only the female is known for R. aurouxi). Also, both species have relatively low ratios for pedipalpal femur and chela for hypogean species of the genus. However, they differ in the chelal movable finger/hand ratio, which is 1.4 in R. borgesi vs 1.7 in R. auroxi; moreover the chelal finger length is almost equal than the femur in the new species, but distinctly longer in R. aurouxi. Distribution and habitat. Only known from the type locality in Sicó massif, Roncocreagris borgesi sp. nov. was collected in the deepest galleries of Cerâmica Cave, where relative humidity is around 100 % throughout the year and mean temperature at soil level is 15.3 ºC. The presence of two hypogean pseudoscorpion species, R. blothroides and R. borgesi, in the same cave is infrequent but not unknown (e.g. Zaragoza 2007). Due to the moderate troglomorphism and scarce occurrence of R. borgesi in the cave, compared to R. blothroides, we suggest that this species might predominantly occur in the mesovoid shallow substratum, rather than in the cave itself. Cerâmica Cave is the richest one of central Portugal in terms of known troglobiont fauna, harboring 10 caveadapted species: 3 pseudoscorpions, 1 spider, 1 millipede, 3 oniscidean woodlice, 1 dipluran and 1 beetle (Reboleira, 2012). Among the cave-adapted species, the pseudoscorpions R. blothroides, R. borgesi sp. nov. and Chthonius sp., the spider Lepthyphantes sp. and the rove-beetle Domene lusitanica Reboleira & Oromí, 2011 are macro- and micropredators, while a new species of chordeumatid millipede, the woodlice Porcellio cavernicolus Vandel, 1964 and two trichoniscids, together with the dipluran Podocampa cf. fragiloides Silvestri, 1932, play a detritivorous role in this subterranean ecosystem (Reboleira et al. 2011 a, 2011 b). Other interesting troglophile species have stable populations in this biocoenosis, such as the gastropod Oxychilus draparnaldi (Beck, 1837), the centipede Lithobius pilicornis Newport, 1844 and the ground beetle Trechus fulvus Dejean, 1831.
