Cover Story: The Coume Ouarnède is the largest cave system of France and of the Pyrenees, with over 100 km of subterranean passages and a depth of about 1000 m. With 21 stygobiotic and 17 troglobiotic species recorded so far, the Coume Ouarnède system is also the second richest subterranean hotspot in France, the first one in the Pyrenees, and one of the richest in Europe. Its fauna includes two remarkable relictual and highly modified species, the Opiliones Arbasus caecus (Simon, 1911) and the Collembola Tritomurus falcifer Cassagnau, 1958. This richness is expected to increase because several taxonomic groups, such as Ostracoda, as well as important subterranean habitats, such as guano piles and the “Milieu Souterrain Superficiel”, have not been considered in inventories so far.
