Pronotum with 1+1 ma, 4+4 la, 2+2 lp macrosetae; mesonotum with 1+1 ma, 3+3 la, 2+2 lp, 1+1 mp macrosetae; metanotum with 1+1 ma, 2+2 la, 2+2 lp, 1+1 mp macrosetae; long, barbed notal macrosetae; a few long, distally barbed notal clothing setae. Two or three ventral tibial macrosetae; unequal claws (1.30) with large lateral crests, posterior claw with a backward overhang. Urotergites I–II with 1+1 post macrosetae; urotergite III with 0+0–1+1 la, 1+1–2+2 post macrosetae; urotergite IV with 1+1 la, 5+5 post macrosetae; urotergite V with 2+2 la, 5+5 post macrosetae; urotergites VI–VII with 3+3 la, 5+5 post macrosetae; urotergite VIII with 6+6 post macrosetae; abdominal segment IX with 8+8 post macrosetae; urosternite I with 7+7, urosternites II–VII with 5+5, urosternite VIII with 2+2 macrosetae. Male with a large area of glandular g 1 setae and slightly enlarged appendages with glandular a 1 setae; female with subcylindrical appendages with glandular a 1 setae.

Remarks

The study of 38 specimens collected from two new caves (see Table S 2 View Table 2 in Supplementary Material) allowed the addition of information to the diagnosis, including the observation of the pretarsal structures ( Figs 42–43 View Figs 42–43 ).

Habitat and distribution

Subterranean species found in 16 caves in the Balkan and Rhodope Mountains, Bulgaria.
