Diagnosis ( Condé 1956a)

Slightly troglomorphic species. Antennae with 34–37 antennomeres; five olfactory chemoreceptors in cupuliform organ of a possibly regenerated antenna; non-protruding frontal process with nontubercular setae. Pronotum with 1+1 ma, 4+4 la, 2+2 lp macrosetae; mesonotum with 1+1 ma, 2+2 la, 2+2 lp macrosetae; metanotum with 1+1 ma, 2+2 lp macrosetae; long, large, barbed notal macrosetae; smooth clothing setae. Two ventral tibial macrosetae; subequal claws (1.05–1.1) with middle-sized lateral crests, posterior claw with no backward overhang. Urotergites I–III with 1+1 post macrosetae; urotergite IV with 1+1 la, 2+2 post macrosetae; urotergites V–VII with 1+1 la, 4+4 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 glandular g 1 setae, enlarged subcylindrical appendages with glandular a 1 setae; female with slender, subcylindrical appendages.

Remarks

The study of one male adult of 4.6 mm body length collected from the MSS habitat in Xànthi, Gérakas, Greece (see Table S 2 in Supplementary Material) allows the addition of information on the urosternites of the male. It has a narrow area of 96 glandular g 1 setae, arranged in 2–3 rows; enlarged and subcylindrical appendages with a distal area of up to 60 glandular a 1 setae ( Fig. 119 ).

Habitat and distribution

Subterranean species known from Saint-Jean-le-Prodrome Cave (Spilaio Pelade) and from the MSS habitat near Xánthi, both on the Balkan Peninsula, in the Macedonian and Greek regions.
