Popis: Three new troglobitic amphibious species of Xangoniscus (Styloniscidae) have been described from limestone caves of the Bambui Group semiarid ecosystems (Chacoan subregion) in the state of Bahia: Xangoniscus antiquussp. nov., X. chaimowiczisp. nov., and X. jonasisp. nov. Natural history information is provided for X. chaimowiczisp. nov. and X. jonasisp. nov. Considering the differences between the known species of Xangoniscus and those described in this study, we redefined the diagnostic characteristics of the genus. Moreover, the distribution of Xangoniscus is discussed. The species described in this study, along with those previously reported, serve as fundamental tools for decision-making processes aimed at conserving Brazil’s speleological natural heritage.
