	abstract = {The response to high temperatures in adults of two cold stenothermal cave-dwelling leptodirins, Neobathyscia mancinii and Neobathyscia pasai (Coleoptera, Cholevidae) was evaluated by determinating levels of gene expression of two members of the family of heat shock proteins 70 kDa by qPCR. In both species, hsc70 mRNA level was constant with increasing temperature, whereas a significant increase in the inducible member (hsp70) mRNA was observed, higher in N. pasai. This difference could be due to their in-cave distribution: N. pasai colonizes the cave entrance where the temperature is more variable than the internal part where N. mancinii is confined. These results demonstrated for the first time the occurrence of a heat shock response in troglobite insects and suggest the correlation between the intensity of this response and the adaptation to the cave environment.},

	pages = {99 {\textendash}123},
	abstract = {The tribe Leptodirini of the beetle family Leiodidae is one of the most diverse radiations of cave animals, with a distribution 
centred north of the Mediterranean basin from the Iberian Peninsula to Iran. Six genera outside this core area, most notably 
Platycholeus Horn, 1880 in the western United States and others in East Asia, have been assumed to be related to Leptodirini. We studied recently collected specimens of three of these extraterritorial genera, namely Platycholeus, Fusi Perkovsky, 
1989 and Sciaphyes Jeannel, 1910, and establish their phylogenetic relationships by analysing a combination of ca. 5 Kb of 
mitochondrial and nuclear DNA sequences with Bayesian Probability and Maximum Likelihood methods. Our results corroborate the previously proposed hypothesis that Platycholeus is the sister group of the remaining Leptodirini, with an estimated age of vicariant separation compatible with the breaking of the Thulean bridge between the Nearctic and the Western 
Palaearctic in the Early Eocene. We refute close relationship of either Fusi or Sciaphyes to Leptodirini, with the former genus appearing more closely related to Cholevini, and the latter to Anemadini and warranting a separate tribe, Sciaphyini, in 
agreement with recent treatments. This phylogenetic position of Sciaphyes is in agreement with a parsimony analysis of 
28 morphological characters of a representative sample of Cholevinae subgroups. We describe one of the studied Sciaphyes
species as S. shestakovi sp.n. and indicate its remarkable morphological differences from its congeners. We hypothesise that 
the remaining three extraterritorial monotypic genera of {\textquotedblleft}Leptodirini{\textquotedblright}, namely Proleptodirina Perkovsky, 1998, Sinobathys-
cia Perreau, 1999 and Coreobathyscia Szymczakowski, 1975 are unlikely to be closely related to the tribe, which probably 
has its easternmost geographical limits at Zagros and Alborz (= Elburz) mountains in Iran.
