 Studied material. Burgos, Cueva Grande, Atapuerca. July 2003. J. Zaragoza, V. Ortuño and A. Sendra leg., 1 male, deposited in MVHN, Cod.: 201206 RV 53; Burgos, Cueva de Atapuerca, 30 May 1975, A. Serra leg., 1 female, published in Molero-Baltanás et al. (1997) as Coletinia sp. VI, deposited in UCO, Ref. Z1959; Burgos, Barbadillo de Herreros, road to Monterrubio de la Demanda, 25 August 1992, inside a nest of Messor capitatus (Formicidae), 1 female, published in Molero-Baltanás et al. (1997) as Coletinia sp. VI, deposited in UCO, Ref. Z1870. A male specimen from northern Italy, lent by L. F. Mendes, also was examined.   
 Descriptive remarks. The specimens from Burgos agree well with the redescription by Wygodzinsky (1980). The body length of the male is 9 mm, and both females are approximately 10 mm long. Macrosetae arew moderately twisted, those of the coxa with 3–5 turns. Apophyses of the antennal pedicellus of the male are simple, subcylindrical and apically rounded (Fig. 164, also see Wygodzinsky 1980, Figs. 4A, 4B). In the male from Burgos, the apical part of the apophysis reaches the fourth joint of the flagellum. L/W ratio of tibiae are as follows: protibiae 3.1–3.8, mesotibiae 3.5–4.1, metatibiae 4–4.5. Each tibia with 1 dorsal spine inserted in the distal half, 1 lateral spine inserted basally, and 4 ventral spines. Lateral spines on the protibiae and mesotibiae are inserted more dorsally than those on the metatibiae. The tenth urotergite of the male has a nearly semicircular emargination in the posterior border between the posterolateral lobes (Fig. 165); the shape in our specimens fall within the range of variability given in Wygodzinsky (1980). The disc of this urotergite is irregularly covered with thin setae (male) and devoid of setae in females, where the hind margin is typically straight across (Fig. 166); posterolateral lobes in the male specimen have 8+8 sensory pegs arranged in two irregular rows (Fig. 167). Urosternite VIII of the male protrudes posteriorly and has a straight hind margin (Fig. 168). Paramera slightly shorter than the ninth stylets and about 4–4.5 times longer than wide (Fig. 169). Subgenital plate semielliptical, wider at the base than long (Fig. 170) and with a rounded posterior border. The ovipositor has 20 and 21 divisions in the two females available, and extends beyond the ninth stylets by 2–3 times their length (Fig. 171). The cerci of the Iberian male bear 3–4 acute sensory pegs and the paracercus has 2 spiniform basal pegs (Fig. 172).
