description: Plusiocampa (Plusiocampa) arbanasiensis Bareth & Condé, 2001
Plusiocampa (Plusiocampa) arbanisiensus Bareth & Condé, 2001: 23, figs 7a–g, 8a–b [name emended to arbanasiensis].
Diagnosis (Bareth & Condé 2001)
Non-troglomorphic species.Antennae with 23 and 26 antennomeres; five simple olfactory chemoreceptors in cupuliform organ; slightly protruding frontal process with slightly tubercular setae. Pronotum with 1+1 ma, 3+3 la, 2+2 lp macrosetae; mesonotum with 1+1 ma, 3+3 la, 2+2 lp macrosetae; metanotum with 1+1 ma, 1+1 (2+1) la, 2+2 lp macrosetae; long, barbed notal macrosetae; abundant barbed notal clothing setae. Two ventral tibial macrosetae; subequal claws (1.05–1.1) with large lateral crests, posterior claw with a small backward overhang. Urotergites I–II with 1+1 post macrosetae; urotergite III with 2+2 post macrosetae; urotergites IV–V with 1+1 la, 5+5 post macrosetae; urotergites VI–VII with 2+2 (2+1) la, 5+5 post macrosetae; urotergite VIII with 6+6 post macrosetae; abdominal segment IX with 8+8 post macrosetae; urosternite I with 7+7, urosternites II–VII with 5+5, urosternite VIII with 2+2 macrosetae. Male with glandular g 1 setae, subcylindrical appendages with glandular a 1 setae; female appendages similar to those of male.
Remarks
The studied material allowed us to complete the above description. The complete antennae of a female from Jama 1 v Kanjaducah show 23 antennomeres with five simple olfactory chemoreceptors within the cupuliform organ; it has a distal whorl of 8–11 gouge sensilla that are 25 µm long. All specimens show a simple frontal process with non-tubercular setae; smooth subapical tarsal setae; abdominal segment IX with 8+8 post macrosetae; urosternite I of male with a narrow area of up to 80 glandular g 1 setae arranged in two or three rows; subcylindrical appendages with up to 12 glandular a 1 setae; females with subcylindrical appendages as in male, with up to 9 glandular a 1 setae. Nevertheless, the large distance from the type locality casts serious doubts regarding the correct identification of this rare species.
Habitat and distribution
Hypogean species found in two geographically distant karst regions, the Lyashkata Peshtera Cave, Balkan Mountains in Bulgaria, and two caves in the Slovenian Dinaric Mountains.
