Idiopteron (Falsocaenia) longehumerale Pic, 1922: 24.
Idiopteron (Falsocaenia) callanganum Pic, 1922: 24. — syn. n.
Type material. Holotype of Idiopteron (Falsocaenia) longehumerale, female, ‘ Peru: Callanga’ (MNHN).
Holotype of Idiopteron (F.) callanganum, male, ‘ Peru: Callanga’ (MNHN).
Diagnosis. Close to F. paranana from which it differs in the shape of pronotum and elytral coloration (Figs 4, 5).
Redescription. Whole body dark brown, only lateral margins of pronotum, longitudinal humeral stripes, and apical 1/4–1/5 of elytra yellow (Figs. 4, 5). Eyes small, distance between eyes 1.5x (male) –1.4x (female) longer than maximal eye diameter in lateral view. Maxillary and labial palpi dark brown. Pronotum 1.5x wider than long at base (Figs. 19, 20). Elytra 3.7x longer than wide in humeral portion. Male genitalia with parameres reaching slightly over distal constriction of phallus (Fig. 57–59). Female genitalia slender, coxites almost straight, approached distally (Fig. 70). Body length: 6.9 (male)– 9.3 mm (female), humeral width: 1.6 (male)– 2.2 mm (female).
Remark. Antennae of F. longehumeralis damaged, antennomeres 3–11 of both antennae missing. Holotype of F. callangana with antennomeres 3–11 of both antennae missing.
Comment. Pic (1922) described a male and a female of Falsocaenia from the same locality (Callanga, Peru) as two different species— Idiopteron (Falsocaenia) longehumerale (female) and I. (F.) callanganum (male). An examination of the holotypes showed the only difference of the two specimens in the coloration of pronotal margins (yellow or black). As some intraspecific variation of coloration was examined in Falsocaenia, F. callangana is considered to be a younger synonym of F. longehumeralis.

Type material. Holotype, female, ‘ Peru’, without other data (MNHN).
Other material. Male, ‘ Bolivia, Germain leg. (det. Kleine)‘ (MNHN).
Diagnosis. Close to F. incognitus, from which it differs in yellow transverse stripe in ½–2/3 of elytral length, and in having black stripe in basal 1/5–1/2 of elytra.

Remark. Holotype with left antennomeres 8–11 and right antennomeres 3–11 missing.
Comment. Pic (1922) described this species as Idiopteron (Falsocaenia) apicicorne. Kleine (1933) overlook this species, and therefore, its status was kept although he transferred many Falsocaenia to Idiopteron s. str .. Bocakova (2003) raised Falsocaenia to generic status, and consequently, Falsocaenia apicicorne (Pic, 1922) comb. n. is proposed here.

Calopterum (Falsocaenia) aurantiacocostatum Pic, 1932: 254.
Idiopteron (Falsocaenia) aurantiacocostatum: Kleine, 1933.
Type material. Lectotype. „ Columbia, S. Antonio “, 1 male (NHMB). Paralectotype. Colombia: „ Villa Elvira, Cauca “, 1 male (NHMB).
Diagnosis. It is the only Falsocaenia species with orange elytral costae.
Redescription. Body dark brown to black, only longitudinal and transverse elytral costae, apex of elytra and sometimes lateral margins of pronotum orange (Figs 29).
Head with small eyes, distance between eyes 1.8x longer than eye diameter. Mandibles small, arcuate. Antennae serrate (Fig. 40), reaching elytral midlength. Pronotum 1.2x wider basally than long medially, posterior angles acute, lateral margins of pronotum sometimes orange. Scutellum black. Elytra slightly widened posteriorly, 3.8x longer than humeral width, each elytron with 3 costae, only humeral portion with rudiments of costa 3 present, showing 4 costae basally. Male genitalia with paramerae as long as ¾ of phallus, phallus apically slender, elliptical (Figs 66–68). Female unknown. Body length. 8–9 mm, humeral width 1.8–2 mm.
Distribution. Colombia.
Comment. Pic (1932) described F. aurantiacocostatum under the generic name Calopterum which has never been described, and therefore is invalid. Pic (1932) probably intended to include F. aurantiacocostata in the genus Calopteron. Kleine (1933) placed this species in the subgenus Falsocaenia within the genus Idiopteron. As Falsocaenia is now considered to be a separate genus with distant relationships to Idiopteron (Bocakova 2005), Idiopteron aurantiacocostatum (Pic, 1932) is transferred to the genus Falsocaenia.
As the two syntypes of Falsocaenia aurantiacocostata from NHMB differ in the coloration of the pronotum, the specimen that corresponds to the description is designated as the lectotype.

Remarks. This species was previously reported from Japan by Okubo (2004) in an irrigation pond in a mountainous region of Kagawa Prefecture. Herein is the first report of this species from Shiga Prefecture and Hokkaido. Elsewhere this species has been recorded from Europe and central Asia (Meisch 2000).

nov. comb. 1947 Cryptocandona brehmi (Klie, 1934) —Bronshtein: 263.
Material examined. Eighteen females from a large pond fed by a spring approximately 325 meters upstream, at the foot of Mount Ibuki, Ueno, Maibara, Shiga Prefecture N35º 23’ 31.0”, E136º 23’ 33.7”, altitude 346 m, 2 August 2010. Material collected by the author.
Size: length 831–892 µm, height 379–419 µm.
Remarks. Previously this species has been recorded only once, from a cave in Nagano Prefecture (Klie 1934; Namiotko and Danielopol 2002). This species is very similar to Cryptocandona reducta (Alm, 1914), and is distinguished from it mainly by shorter lengths of the G3 and GM claws of the antennae, a relatively short Sp seta on the caudal ramus, only very weakly protruding genital lobe and smaller size of the carapace. (For more details see Namiotko and Danielopol 2002). In their redescription of the only known syntype, Namiotko and Danielopol (2002) noted that the antennules are asymmetrical. However, the antennules of specimens collected in Shiga Prefecture are symmetrical, suggesting that the asymmetrical antennules of the syntype are an anomaly. The antennules of the Shiga specimens are most similar to the left one of the syntype, (Fig. 6 B) suggesting that the right antennule of the syntype is the anomalous one.
This species was found in a pond in a wooded area, on a substrate of fallen leaves on sand. The pond is fed by a large, fast flowing spring about 325 meters upstream of a steep, wooded valley. The spring extrudes from a boundary of limestone above a clay layer.

Undulacandona

description: Genus Undulacandona n. gen.
Diagnosis. Carapace sexually dimorphic with male quadrate in lateral view, while female sub-trapezoidal. Dorsal view very compressed, beak-shaped and pointed at both ends. Surface covered with striations, left valve overlapping right valve along dorsal and ventral margins. An1 with six segments. An2 exopodite with three very short setae. Y aesthetasc long and slender. Male with second An2 endopodal segment divided and with male bristles; seta t2 greatly thickened, terminating with flattened disk structure, t3 thickened and bifurcated near distal end. L7 with d1, d2 and dp setae, and very long, reflexed h3 seta. Zenker organ with 3+2 rosettes, anterior with inflated, bulbous end. CR short, stout and curved. Hp with two terminal lobes, one longer than other and with hooked distal end.
Type species. Undulacandona spinula n. sp.
Etymology. From the Latin undula, meaning a wave, referring to the fact that the surface ornamentation of the carapace is reminiscent of small ripples or waves on the surface of the water.
Remarks. This genus is similar to Mixtacandona Klie, 1938, a stygobite genus with a European distribution. Undulacandona can be distinguished from Mixtacandona by the number of segments in the antenna (six in Undulacandona, eight in Mixtacandona with the first two fused together), by the reduced, stout, and curved caudal ramus in Undulacandona, and the Zenker organ (with 3+2 rosettes in Undulacandona and 5+2 rosettes in Mixtacandona). The new genus also shares some characteristics of the Australian genus Pierrecandona Karanovic, 2007, in particular the striated carapace, similar shaped male fifth limb palps, antennal exopodite reduced to three very short setae, and six-segmented antennules. Undulacandona differs from Pierrecandona in the following characters: male antennae with sexual bristles (missing in Pierrecandona), different shaped hemipenes, Zenker organs with 3+2 rosettes (5+ 2 in Pierrecandona), and partially reduced caudal rami (caudal rami of ‘normal’ size and with a long spine on the Ga claw in Pierrecandona).
