Diagnosis ( Silvestri 1932a; Paclt 1966; Bareth 1980; Sendra 1988)

Body length 1.5–3.0 mm; epicuticle with microdenticles; short, smooth clothing setae; antennae with 18–23 antennomeres; sensillum of third antennomere in dorsal position; long notal macrosetae well barbed; thin pine cone pronotal marginal setae; 1+1 lp macrosetae on VII urotergite, 3+3 lp on VIII urotergite and 5+5 lp IX abdominal segment; cerci shorter than body with 9 articles covered in long barbed macrosetae and a few clothing setae, latero-interior swollen macrosetae; small spermatozoid fascicles 33–36 μm and 10 μm wide, spiral filament with 1.5–2 spirals, 93–150 μm long and 1 μm diameter.

We follow the suggestion of Paclt (1966) to propose as synonyms of C. (M.) devoniensis : Campodea (Monocampa) quilisi Silvestri, 1932 from the west Mediterranean region, Campodea (Monocampa) barnardi Silvestri, 1932 from South Africa, Campodea (Monocampa) morgani Silvestri, 1911 from North America and Campodea (Monocampa) tonnoiri Womersley, 1937 from Australia. Nevertheless, a more accurate revision should be carried out in the future to untangle this taxonomic uncertainty.

Taxonomic notes

Some specimens studied from localities in Sardinia Island and Genova (Supplementary file 2) have 1+1 la macrosetae on VII urotergite. In Granarolo (Genova, Italy) specimens with and without la macrosetae on VII urotergite have been observed. The studied material (Supplementary file 2) has also allowed to take photographs of some structures with SEM ( Figs 14–16 , 25–26 ).

Habitat and distribution

Soil-dwelling species distributed in the Atlantic archipelagos of the Canaries ( Sendra 1989a) and Azores ( Condé & Barbier 1965), although the main distribution area are the West Mediterranean regions: Iberian Peninsula ( Condé & Mathieu 1957; Sendra et al. 1986; Sendra & Moreno 2006), Morocco ( Condé 1953b), Sardinia ( Bareth 1980), Corsica ( Condé 1947e) and the Italian Peninsula ( Ramellini 1990). It has also been found at several localities in England ( Bagnall 1918c), Austria ( Christian 1992), Slovakia ( Paclt 1966) and Croatia ( Blesić 1996), perhaps due to its wide colonization capability, and it is a potential invasing species of other distant localities in Australia, South Africa and North America ( Paclt 1966).
