Tachycampa lepineyi Silvestri, 1936: 86, figs 1–11.
Diagnosis (Sivestri 1936; Condé 1952)
Troglomorphic species. Epicuticle with microdenticles. Antennae with 36–38 antennomeres; about 20 small complex olfactory chemoreceptors in cupuliform organ; protruding frontal process, with nontubercular setae. Pronotum with 1+1 ma and 1+1 lp macrosetae and 1+1 sla submacrosetae; mesonotum with 1+1 sma and 1+1 sla submacrosetae; metanotum with 1+1 sma submacrosetae; short, smooth notal macrosetae; short, smooth notal clothing setae. Dorsal femoral macrosetae absent; one small ventral tibial macroseta; subequal, elbow-like claws with large lateral crests, posterior claw without a backward overhang; setiform pretarsal processes. Urotergite VIII with 3+3 post macrosetae; abdominal segment IX with 6+6 post macrosetae; urosternite I with 8+8–11+11, urosternites II–VII with 8+8, urosternite VIII with 1+1 macrosetae. Male urosternite I with a wide area of glandular g 1 setae; short, thick, large appendages with a large area of glandular a 1 and a 2 setae; female with enlarged subcylindrical appendages with glandular a 1 setae.
Remarks
The study of many specimens collected from five new caves (Coll. AS) (see Table S 2 in Supplementary Material) allowed the addition of information to the diagnosis and the inclusion of other minor taxonomic characters: ventral sensillum in third antennomere; labial palps with thick sensilla, two guard sensilla, nine simple setae and about 80 neuroglandular setae; metathoracic leg reaching end of abdomen; calcars with long barbs running up from base in two rows; smooth subapical tarsal setae; stylar setae covered with a few long barbs, apical setae with large basal tooth.
Habitat and distribution
Subterranean species found in nine caves in the karst areas near Taza in the Middle Atlas Mountains, Morocco.
