Diagnosis ( Condé 1959; Bareth 1988; Condé & Bareth 1996)

Troglomorphic species. Antennae with 41–47 antennomeres; numerous sheet-shaped complex olfactory chemoreceptors in cupuliform organ; protruding frontal process with tubercular setae. Pronotum with 1+1 ma, 3+3–4+4 la, 2+2 lp macrosetae; mesonotum with 1+1 ma, 2+2 la, 2+2 lp macrosetae; metanotum with 1+1 ma, 1+1 la, 2+2 lp macrosetae; long, barbed notal macrosetae; long, barbed notal clothing setae. No ventral tibial macrosetae; unequal claws with large lateral crests, posterior claw with a backward overhang. Urotergite III with 0+0–1+1 (1+0) la macrosetae; urotergite IV with 1+1 la, 0+1 post macrosetae; urotergite V with 1+1 la, 4+4 (3+4) post macrosetae; urotergites VI–VII with 1+1 la, 4+4 post macrosetae; urotergite VIII with 5+5–6+6 post macrosetae; abdominal segment IX with 8+8– 9+9 (10+9) post macrosetae. Urosternite I with 14+15–21+20, urosternites II–VII with 9+9–12+12, urosternite VIII with 2+2–3+3 macrosetae. Male with lateral expansions of posterior margin occupied by an area of glandular g 1 setae in adults (no expansion in juveniles and little expansion in young males), subcylindrical appendages without glandular a 2 setae; female with subcylindrical appendages with glandular a 1 setae.

Remarks

The studied material (see Table S 2 View Table 2 in Supplementary Material) allowed us to make additions to the diagnosis (Coll. AS).

Habitat and distribution

Subterranean species well distributed around the northwestern Dinaric Mountains, found in 18 caves ( Figs 205 View Figs 205–206. 205 , 208 View Figs 207–208. 207 ).
