Morphological remarks. Morphometric differences have been observed between specimens collected in SSD traps in scree slope MSS of Moncayo massif and specimens from other endogean environments. The specimens from SSD traps have a body length up to 4.5 mm (males) and 7.1 mm (females); their antennae have 26‒34 antennomeres (51 complete adult antennae); their cupuliform organ bears 6‒8 simple sensilla. Specimens collected on the surface with pitfall traps from scree slopes or nearby endogean habitats have body lengths up to 4.2 mm (males) and 4.7 mm (female); their antennae have 23 to 30 antennomeres (31 complete antennae) and their cupuliform organ bears 4 simple sensilla.

Total: 316 specimens: 98 males, 169 females, 44 juveniles and 5 unknown sex.

Habitat and distribution. The environment for C. catalana ranges from epiedaphic to endogean and extends through the MSS habitats in some regions where it is widespread. It is an endemic species of Mediterranean climates in the Iberian Peninsula, where it is very numerous in almost every kind of soil, including anthropic areas ( Sendra & Moreno 2006).
