本研究修订了在巴西洞穴中发现的蜈蚣动物群，重点是troglomorphic类群，并强调保护地位。我们展示了来自巴西11个州274个洞穴的563个蜈蚣标本。其中，22个记录来自现有文献，252个是新收集的。标本代表4目，10科，18属，47形态种。这些洞穴记录加在一起代表了巴西蜈蚣动物群的21%。最具代表性的目是蜈蚣目（41%），其次是地形目（26%），盾形目（23%）和石形目（10%）.有六种只在洞穴中发现，其中四种被认为是穴居动物。第一个被发现的巴西穴居蜈蚣物种Cryptops iporangensis的分布范围扩大到其他三个洞穴。根据世界自然保护联盟的红色名录，隐头山盗龙和隐头山盗龙是两种分别被认为是脆弱和濒危的穴居物种。巴西洞穴面临的主要威胁是采矿、水电项目、水污染和不受管制的旅游业。
This study revises centipede fauna found in Brazilian caves, focusing on troglomorphic taxa and emphasizing conservation status. We present 563 centipede specimens from 274 caves across eleven Brazilian states. Of these, 22 records were derived from existing literature and 252 are newly collected. Specimens represent four orders, ten families, 18 genera, and 47 morphospecies. Together, the cave records represent 21 % of Brazil’s centipede fauna. Scolopendromorpha was the most representative order (41 %), followed by Geophilomorpha (26 %), Scutigeromorpha (23 %), and Lithobiomorpha (10 %). Six species were found only in caves, with four considered troglobitic. The distribution of Cryptops iporangensis, the first Brazilian troglobitic centipede species to be discovered, was expanded to other three caves. Cryptops spelaeoraptor and Cryptops iporangensis are two troglobitic species considered Vulnerable and Endangered, respectively, according to the IUCN Red List. Main threats to Brazilian caves are mining, hydroelectric projects, water pollution, and unregulated tourism.
