caves according to provinces. The compilation also has chapters on cave
archaeology, and biospeleology, including cave-dwelling bats. In English
language with a German and French abstract. Myanmar is still one of the
"blank spots" on the speleological world map. The difficult political
situation in the country and the restricted access to areas along its borders
to Thailand, Laos and India have made only a few speleological
expeditions possible so far. However, over the years several investigative
projects were carried out with their results scattered in several
publications. Especially in most recent times several expeditions were
held. This volume aims to give a complete overview about the stand of
speleological exploration of Myanmar. The results of all previous cave
projects are presented to provide a solid basis for planning future
explorations. This compilation also strives to align erroneous locations,
name transcription problems as well as double denominations assigned to
the same caves - all of which occurred in the literature. Furthermore a
biospeleological overview is presented, including the bats of Myanmar.

(Echinocamptus) cheongokensis sp. nov. is a harpacticoid copepod of the
family Canthocamptidae that was collected from a pool in Cheongok
cave, Donghae-shi, Kangwon-do, Korea. The new species is
characterized by the following diagnostic characters: 1) an eightsegmented
female antennule, 2) the absence of an inner seta on the
second exopodal segment of P1, 3) the distal segments of the exopod of
P2 to P4 are as long as the other two segments combined, and 4) there are
six setae on the basoendopod of the female P5. This species has a slight
resemblance to the "hiemalis" group. However, the new species is clearly
distinguishable from the species in the "hiemalis" group by the
combination of ornamentation of the free margin of the operculum, the
number of setae on the P4 endopod, the length/width ratio of the P5
exopod in the female, and the number of setae on the first endopod
segment and the lengths of each apical seta on the last endopod segment
of P3 in the male. Thus far, 22 species have been reported in the subgenus
Echinocamptus, and the "hiemalis" group includes ten species. Species in
this group are typically found in the interstitial groundwater around
springs, lakes, streams, and caves. The new species described herein is
the first described member of the subgenus Echinocamptus from caves in
Korea.

87154-46-5, 380 p. ABS: Bratislava, the capital of Slovak Republic,
offers to bats a plenty of sites with suitable conditions for their life. The
Bratislava territory spreads on the banks of Danube River in the altitude
of 126-514 m above sea level. Besides urban elements, it is possible to
find here also plenty of natural complexes at which the majority of them
belong to the protected landscape area Malé Karpaty. In total, 19 bat
species were recorded in Bratislava territory (68% of the bat fauna of the
Slovak Republic) during last 15 years. Most of them (12) were
determined inside buildings or in crevices in blocks of flats. Mostly there
were solitaire individuals, but also maternity colonies of 3 species
(Eptesicus serotinus, Pipistrellus pipistrellus, P. pygmaeus) and several
winter colonies of Nyctalus noctula were found. The most frequently
observed species inside buildings was Vespertilio murinus. Foraging
activity of 8 bat species was detected also by bat-detector. The most
frequent species were Nyctalus noctula, Eptesicus serotinus, Pipistrellus
pygmaeus, and P. nathusii. During winter, some of bats hibernate in
underground spaces situated in surrounding forest - in cellars (4 species),
caves (5 species), old mines (6 species) and old military shelters
(bunkers), where 10 bat species were observed. Some of them
(Rhinolophus hipposideros, M. bechsteinii, Myotis nattereri) were
observed in Bratislava territory only in this habitat type. From the
beginning of the 20 th century there are data about occurrence of
Miniopterus schreibersii, Myotis emarginatus and Eptesicus nilssonii;
nowadays, the occurrence of these species in Bratislava was not
confirmed. The results confirmed that the Bratislava territory represents a
heterogeneous area, suitable for foraging and shelter of bats.

chiltoniid amphipods recently have been found in subterranean habits
such as caves, aquifers, and underflow of rivers and creeks in a number of
geographic areas in Australia (Yilgarn WA, Flinders Ranges and Eyre
Peninsula SA and Musgrave Ranges NT). All the discovered subterranean
species are depigmented and blind. Additionally, chiltoniid amphipods
are also common in surface waters of the temperate zone of southern
Australia (SW Western Australia, South Australia, Victoria and
Tasmania) as well as in mound springs in the Great Artesian Basin and
sinkholes in the SE of South Australia. Presently, six species in this group
have been described: Phreatochiltonia anopthalma (subterranean) and
Austrochiltonia dalhousiensis (surface), both from Dalhousie Springs;
Arabunnachiltonia murphyi and Wangiannachiltonia guzikae from the
Lake Eyre mound springs and A. australis and A. subtenuis from surface
waters in Victoria and South Australia. The latter two species have been
reported to have a wide distribution across entire southern Australia.
Molecular analyses of mitochondrial and nuclear genes of subterranean
and surface taxa collected from the entire geographical range of this
group shows a number of interesting patterns: (1) There is no evidence
for a wide spread distribution of A. australis and A. subtenuis. (2) There
are numerous undescribed, morphological cryptic surface species that
often are restricted to individual catchments. (3) There are a number of
well defined subterranean clades of which its species are confined to
different geographical areas. (4) There are also clades that each contains a
mix of species from inland areas such as the Yilgarn and the Great
Artesian Basin as well as from the coastal limestone aquifers of Eyre
Peninsula. A dated phylogenetic tree, palaeogeographic and climatic data
are used to address several evolutionary questions: (1) To what extent did
the palaeogeography and historical climates shape the current distribution
of the amphipod species and clades? (2) What triggered the evolution of
subterranean species in the different areas? http://www.icsb2010.net/
