( Fig. 21 View FIG )

NEW DATA. — New to science, this species has only been found so far in the Collo massif where it is rare. It is remarkable by its ciliated labral chaetae and its apical bulb on antenna, a combination of characters only known amongst Pseudosinella in the blind species Pseudosinella najtae Jordana & Baquero, 2017 , described from a cave of Spain ( Jordana et al. 2017). The Collo species has eyes constituted of 3-5 ommatidia by side, pigmented in black.
