Abstract
One new genus (Quatuordillo) and two new species (Quatuordillo caecus and Buddelundia eberhardi) are described from subterranean habitats in Western Australia. Both species show troglomorphic traits, such as body depigmentation, reduction or absence of eyes, and elongation of appendages. Buddelundia eberhardi is the only troglobiont in the genus, which up to date includes 26 species from Australia. Armadillo brevicauda Dollfus, 1898 from Flores Island, Indonesia, is transferred to Buddelundia. http://zoobank.org/urn:lsid:zoobank.org:pub:35F61AC8-F76D-49E8-A8D8-278B58C2FE31
