Family Belisariidae Lourenço, 1998 .

Belisarius ibericus Lourenço, 2015 : SPAIN. Habitat: under rocks near to cave entrance. Troglomorphies: median ocelli absent; lateral ocelli reduced; pigmentation and sclerotization reduced; telson vesicle enlarged. Previous assessments: endogean hygrophile lapidicolous (Karaman, 2020); endogean (Tropea and Onnis, 2020). Current assessment: endogean. Citations: Lourenço (2015); Karaman (2020); Tropea and Onnis (2020). Remarks: The type locality is dubious and this species is probably a junior synonym of B. xambeui .

Belisarius xambeui Simon, 1879 : FRANCE, SPAIN. Habitat: leaf litter; inside caves. Troglomorphies: median and lateral ocelli absent; pigmentation and sclerotization reduced; telson vesicle enlarged. Previous assessments: troglophile (Jeannel, 1926; Jaulin et al., 2010; Deharveng and Bedos, 2018; Karaman, 2020); hypogée (Vachon, 1945); endogean (Gertsch and Soleglad, 1972; Francke, 1982; Lourenço, 2009; Tropea and Onnis, 2020); hipogea, que tant es pot trobar sota les pedres enfonsades … com dins de les coves (Vives, 1981); found in caves but also inhabits deep soil and litter (Reddell, 1981); vivant préférentiellement dans les grottes, mais également dans la litière forestière et sous les pierres (Emerit et al., 1996); troglophylus (Vignoli et al., 2008); humicolous, not a troglobite (Volschenk and Prendini, 2008); endogean hygrophile lapidicolous (Fet, 2010; Karaman, 2020); hypogé, litiéricole (Jaulin et al., 2010); troglomorphic endogean (Prendini et al., 2010; Botero-Trujillo et al., 2017); troglobite (Reddell, 2019; Santibáñez-López et al., 2019a). Current assessment: endogean, hypogean: troglobite.

Troglomorphies: median and lateral ocelli reduced; pigmentation and sclerotization absent; pedipalps and legs attenuate. Previous assessments: eutroglophile (Tropea and Onnis, 2020). Current assessment: hypogean: troglophile (eutroglophile). Citations: Tropea and Onnis (2020).
