Remarks
According to Schmalfuss (2003), this blind and depigmented species might be a junior synonym of Anaphiloscia simoni Racovitza, 1907 , described on the basis of a female specimen from a cave on Mallorca, Balearic Islands ( Racovitza 1907; Arcangeli 1934) and later recorded from western Spain, Morocco, Algeria and Libya (Cyrenaica). Vandel (1972) seems to have considered the two species as synonymous, without formally discussing the issue ( Schmalfuss 2003). Since no illustrations of the male characters of A. simoni exist, it is impossible to clarify this taxonomic problem without a re-examination of the type material. No specimens of this genus have been collected during our investigations.
Ecological notes
Epigean species.
