Plusiocampa schweitzeri Condé, 1947a: 23, fig. 3.
Diagnosis (Condé 1947a)
Troglomorphic species. Antennae with 22–29 antennomeres; cupuliform organ with seven or eight complex olfactory chemoreceptors. Protruding frontal process with tubercular setae. Pronotum with 1+1 ma, 2+2 la, 2+2 lp macrosetae; mesonotum with 1+1 ma, 2+2–2+3 la, 2+2 lp macrosetae; metanotum with 1+1 ma, 1+1 la, 2+2 lp macrosetae; long, barbed notal setae; abundant barbed notal clothing setae. Two ventral tibial macrosetae; unequal claws (1.3–1.5) with large lateral crests, posterior claw with a backward overhang. Urotergites I–III with 1+1 post macrosetae; urotergite IV with 1+1 la, 2+2–3+3 post macrosetae; urotergite V with 1+1 la, 4+4–5+5 post macrosetae; urotergites VI–VII with 1+1–2+2 la, 5+5 (4+5) post macrosetae; urotergite VIII with 6+6 macrosetae; abdominal segment IX with 8+8–8+9 macrosetae; urosternite I with 7+7, urosternites II–VII with 5+5, urosternite VIII with 2+2 macrosetae. Male with an area of glandular g 1 setae, subcylindrical and slightly enlarged appendages with glandular a 1 setae; female appendages like male appendages.
Remarks
The 17 specimens studied, from four caves in the Dinaric Mountains (Bosnia and Herzegovina) (see Table S 2 in Supplementary Material), allowed us to clarify some characters: five complete antennae preserved show 28–29 antennomeres, elongated antennomeres with a distal whorl of 12–14 long gouge sensilla (30–32 µm) (Figs 131–132); cupuliform organ with seven or eight spheroidal olfactory chemoreceptors, each with a jagged fold surrounding a central coniform structure covered by a highly visible, multiperforated polygonal net surface (Figs 125–130). Protruding frontal process with tubercular setae. Surface of epicuticle reticulate (Fig. 133). Smooth tarsal subapical setae and calcars with long barbs from base, pretarsus claws with large lateral crests (Fig. 134). Furthermore, they show a wider range in the number of urotergal macrosetae than mentioned in the diagnosis above.
