Plusiocampa (Plusiocampa) rybaki Condé, 1956

Plusiocampa rybaki Condé, 1956a: 11 .

Diagnosis

Plusiocampa (P.) rybaki was poorly described by Condé, based on specimens from three caves, one in Attica, Greece (Cave I in Rachi, northern part of Mt Ymittos) and two on Crete (Achyrospilo Cave on the Acrotiri Peninsula, Chania and Sarchos Cave, Irakleio). Troglomorphic species. Antennae with 40–44 antennomeres, large cupuliform organ with 13–21 olfactory chemoreceptors; frontal process with tubercular setae. Mesonotum with 3+3 la macrosetae, and mesonotum and metanotum with mp macrosetae. Pretarsus with large lateral crests. Urotergites V–VII with 5+5 post macrosetae.

Remarks

The specimens from Crete reported by Condé (1956a) as P. (P.) rybaki , as well as two specimens collected by P. Strinati on Crete (deposited in the Natural History Museum of Geneva on two slides labelled by B. Condé as Plusiocampa rybaki : 1 male from Melidoni Spilia, 2 Aug. 1983 and 1 female from Grotta “Sentoni”), are here considered to belong to P. (P.) hoffmanni sp. nov.
