Etymology. This species is dedicated to Ana Teruel Gallart, young daughter of one of the authors.
Description. Body lengths of males: 2.5–3.7 mm (holotype 3.7 mm), females 2.7–4.4 mm, juveniles 1.5– 2.7 mm. Dorsal and leg cuticle usually with few microdenticles (visible at ×1000), in one population (Akkus) with larger microdenticles (visible at ×200). Clothing setae short with minute subapical barbs. Antennae with 22 to 25 articles in adults (1 antennae with 22 articles, 1 with 23, 1 with 24, 3 with 25), 21 to 25 articles in juveniles (2 antennae with 21 articles, 2 with 22, 1 with 23, 1 with 24, 1 with 25). Bacilliform sensillum of third article ventral, between macrochaetae d and e Sensilla of maxillary and labial palps shorter than antennal sensillum (6 μm, 9 μm, 12 μm in the maxillary, labial and antennal sensilla, respectively in a 4.4 mm female paratype). Apical article antennae with 4 simple sensilla in cupuliform organ. “Gubia” sensilla short (11–12.5 μm), on medial articles organized into distal verticils of 6 each. Labial palps suboval, each with more than one hundred neuroglandular setae in adults. Frontal process with three macrochaetae and 3+3 (a, i, p) macrochaetae along the antennal insertion line, 0.7 times shorter than the frontal process anterior macrochaetae, with barbs on the distal half.
Pronotum, mesonotum and metanotum (Fig. 1) with typical 3+3 (ma, la, lp), 3+3 (ma, la, lp) and 2+2 (ma, lp) macrochaetae as in Campodea s.str .. All macrochaetae long, covered with fine barbs except near the base. Macrochaetae lp longer than ma and la of the same notum; ratio ma/la for mesonotum 0.58–0.80, ratio lp mesonotum/ lp metanotum 0.98–1.2. Pronotum and mesonotum with 3 or 4 shorter but robust, barbed posterior marginal setae. Apex of metathoracic legs exceeding abdominal segment VII. Trochanteral sensillum absent. Tibial macrochaetae short (42 μm in holotype), each with small distal barb. Calcars with fine barbs on distal half. Subapical macrochaetae at tarsal apex smooth. Claws subequal, without crests. Telotarsal process glabrous, setiform.
Urotergites I to IV without macrochaetae; urotergite V with 1+1 lp macrochaetae, urotegites VI and VII with 1+1 la and 1+1 lp macrochaetae, urotergite VIII with 3+3 lp macrochaetae and urotergite IX with 5+5 lp macrochaetae (Fig. 2). All urotergite macrochaetae long, well developed, barbed on distal two-thirds, la macrochaetae about 60% length of lp macrochaetae. Pleurites II to VII each with thick, distally barbed seta. Urosternite I with 6+6 macrochaetae, urosternites II to VII with 4+4 macrochaetae, urosternite VIII with 1+1 macrochaetae. Apical seta of each stylus with two long proximal denticles; subapical seta glabrous, medial ventral seta bifurcate. Male urosternite I with 2 or 3 rows of about 110 glandular g1 -setae along posterior margin. Male lateral appendages subtrapezoidal, with glandular a1 -setae, without glandular a2 -setae. Female lateral appendages subcylindrical, with about 12 glandular a1 -setae. Intact cerci not observed. Adult cerci with long, fine macrochaetae barbed on distal third and several slender setae nearly as long as the macrochaetae.
Affinities. Campodea (Campodea) anae Sendra & Teruel sp. n. differs from all other members of the subgenus in the presence of posterior lateral macrochaetae and the lack of lateral macrochaetae on urotergite V. Ten Euro-Mediterranean species of the subgenus Campodea possess urotergal chaetotaxia with 1+1 la and 1+1 lp on urotergite V. Among these species, four are distributed in the Eastern Mediterranean region (Israel and Lebanon): C. alfierii Wygodzinsky, 1942, C. galilaea Wygodzinsky, 1942, C. olivieri Condé, 1955 and C. anavyi Condé, 1955. Two species, C. donensis Rusek, 1965 and C. ghilarovi Rusek, 1965 occur in eastern Europe. Two widespread Mediterranean species in this list are C. plusiochaeta Silvestri, 1912 and C. pempturochaeta Silvestri, 1912. Of these 10 species, C. anae appears to be most closely related to C. plusiochaeta on the basis of the setal composition on the cerci.
Distribution. This new species seems to be restricted to the Turkish Black Sea region, in the Pontic Mountains, and can be considered an endemic Turkish species confined to Anatolia.
