Diagnosis ( Silvestri 1932a, 1932b; Condé 1956a; Sendra et al. 1986)

Body length 2.5–5.0 mm; long, thin, smooth clothing setae; antennae with 21 to 33 antennomeres; sensillum of third antennomere in ventral position; cupuliform organ with four simple olfactory chemoreceptors; long notal macrosetae with barbs along distal two-thirds; long, thick, barbed marginal setae; one setiform or baciliform trochanteral sensilla; one ventral tibial macroseta; calcars with barbs extending from base; smooth subapical tarsal setae; polymorphic telotarsal process from setiform to laminar shapes; 1+1 lp on III urotergite, 2+2 lp on IV urotergite, 1+1 la, 2+2 lp on V–VII urotergites, 1+1 mp, 3+3 lp on VIII urotergite and 1+1 mp, 5+5 lp on IX abdominal segment; first male urosternite with glandular g 1 -setae and subcylindrical appendages slightly enlarged with glandular a 1 -setae and seasonal a 2 -setae; females subcylindrical appendages with glandular a 1 and a 2 -setae; cerci slightly shorter than body covered in long macrosetae well barbed on proximal articles and short ones on medial and distal articles with abundant short clothing setae.

Taxonomic notes

Specimens collected at several localities across the Iberian Peninsula ( Sendra 1988) show differential features from the previous diagnosis. These include a setiform telotarsal process in the legs, cerci covered

with long barbed macrosetae and sparse cloting setae. This variability in P. fragiloides shows its close similaritites with P. seabrai and P. jorgei that might be considered as synonyms. Aditionally, the studied material (Supplementary file 2) allowed studying structures under SEM ( Figs 12 View Figs 7–12. – 7–8 , 33–34 View Figs 29–34. – 29–32 ).

Habitat and distribution

Soil-dwelling species inhabiting the Rif Mountains in Morocco ( Silvestri 1932b) and many areas on the Iberian Peninsula, without reaching the Pyrenees ( Silvestri 1932a; Wygodzinsky 1944a; Sendra et al. 1986; Sendra 1990a).
