Paratachycampa Wygodzinsky, 1944: 371 .

Diagnosis ( Wygodzinsky 1944; Bareth & Condé 1981)

Pronotum with 1+1 ma, 1+1–2+2 la, 1+1 lp macrosetae; mesonotum with 1+1 mp, 1+1 la macrosetae; metanotum with 1+1 ma macrosetae. Dorsal femoral macrosetae absent; ventral tibial macrosetae absent. Claws with lateral crest, with a backward overhang. Pretarsal lateral processes from setiform to laminar and well barbed on ventral side. Urotergal macrosetae start on urotergite III or IV. Stylus with pubescent apical, subapical and medial setae. Extra urosternal macrosetae on first urosternite and 2+2 on eighth urosternite. Male with elongate appendages, covered with a large area of glandular a 2 setae.

Habitat and distribution

All three known species are highly cave-adapted to the deep subterranean ecosystems. The genus Paratachycampa has an amphi-Atlantic distribution, with one species in Mexico and two on the Iberian Peninsula ( Fig. 210 View Fig ).
