Campodea (Paurocampa) rocasolanoi Silvestri, 1932: 159 , fig. XIX.

Diagnosis ( Silvestri 1932a; Condé 1947c; Condé & Mathieu 1957; Bareth 2006)

Body length 2.0–4.0 mm; epicuticle with microdenticles; short clothing setae with small distal barb; antennae with 16–21 antennomeres; sensillum of third antennomere in dorsal position; middle-sized, barbed pronotal macrosetae; thin pine cone marginal setae; 1+1 la, 1+1 lp macrosetae on VII urotergite; 3+3 lp on VIII urotergite and 5+5 lp on IX abdominal segment; cerci shorter than body with 10–15 articles covered in middle-sized macrosetae with barbs along distal half on proximal articles with abundant short smooth setae, but on distal articles only abundant setae.

Habitat and distribution

Soil-dwelling species with a preference for the upper layers of the soil but also found in its distribution area on colluvial scree slopes habitats ( Sendra et al. 2017a). It is distributed in the western half of the Pyrenees Mountains ( Condé 1947c; Condé & Mathieu 1957), extending towards to the Cantabrian and Iberian Mountains ( Sendra & Moreno 2006). The record from the Dinaric Mountains ( Blesić 2000a) should be carefully revised with new material from those localities.
