First Record of the Genus Monojapyx Paclt, 1957 (Diplura: Japygidae) from Türkiye
Öz
The genus Monojapyx Paclt, 1957 (Diplura: Japygidae) is recorded from Türkiye for the first time, based on material collected in Diyarbakır Province located in Southeastern Anatolian Region of Türkiye. We provide diagnostic notes, ecological observations, and distributional data for Monojapyx simplex (Verhoeff, 1923), representing a substantial eastward range extension from its previously known Mediterranean distribution. The new record increases the known diversity of Japygidae in Türkiye to five genera and thirteen species. Given the cryptic lifestyle of diplurans and the limited sampling in Anatolia, our findings highlight the likelihood of overlooked diversity and underscore the need for integrative faunistic surveys in subterranean and soil habitats.
