Diagnosis (Bareth & Condé 1981; Sendra 1988; Sendra & Escolà 2004)
Troglomorphic species. Epicuticle smooth. Antennae with 34–40 elongated antennomeres; 12–16 complex olfactory chemoreceptors in cupuliform organ. Protruding frontal process with abundant tubercular setae. Pronotum with 1+1 ma, 2+2 la, 1+1 lp macrosetae; mesonotum with 1+1 ma, 1+1 la macrosetae; metanotum with 1+1 ma, 1+1 la macrosetae; long, thin notal macrosetae with a very few barbs; long, thin smooth clothing setae. Subequal, elbow-like claws with large lateral crests, posterior claw with a backward overhang; laminar, barbed ventral pretarsal processes. Urotergites III–VII with 1+1 la macrosetae; urotergite VIII with 4+4 post macrosetae; abdominal segment IX with 7+7 post macrosetae; urosternite I with 22+22, urosternites II–VII with 7+7, urosternite VIII with 2+2 macrosetae. Male without glandular g 1 setae; overdeveloped appendages with a large area of glandular a 2 setae and an apical area of glandular a 1 setae; subcylindrical female appendages with glandular a 1 and a 2 setae.
Remarks
The studied material (see Table S 2 in Supplementary Material) allowed us to add taxonomic details revealed by SEM microscopy. Gouge sensilla abundant, as long as 28 µm, with thick transversal stripes with alternating rows of pores between them (Figs 196–197). Subequal claws with well-developed lateral crests (Figs 198–199). Lateral processes of pretarsus with S-shape, its ventral side covered with long, hooked barbs (Figs 200–201).
Habitat and distribution
Subterranean species found in nine caves throughout the coastal karst reliefs in the east of the Iberian Peninsula (Fig. 206).
