description: Genus Podocampa Silvestri, 1932
Podocampa Silvestri, 1932a: 116.
Diagnosis (Silvestri 1932a; Condé 1956a)
Notal macrosetae 1+1 ma, 1+1 la, 1+1 lp macrosetae on pronotum and mesonotum and 1+1 ma, 1+1 lp on metanotum; plain frontal process without protruding with one exception in P. simonnini Condé, 1956; one thick long dorsal femoral macrosetae; subequal slightly curved smooth claws with smooth
setiform or laminar telotarsal process; 0+0, 1+1 or 2+2 lp macrosetae on urotergites III–VII; 0+0 or 1+1
la macrosetae on utrotergites IV–VII; with or without medial anterior and medial posterior macrosetae
on urotergites and abdominal segment; urosternite I with 7+7-9+9 macrosetae, urosternites II–VII 5+5
and ursoternite VIII with 1+1 macrosetae; first male urosternite with glandular g 1 -setae, appendages enlarged with glandular a 1 and a 2 -setae; subcylindrical appendages in female with glandular a 1 and with or without a
2
-setae. The variability observed in a few species is remarkable, with a telotarsal process
from setiform to laminar which has led to some confusion ino this apparently monophyletic taxon, see
Paclt (1957), Condé (1959) and Sendra et al. (1986).
Habitat and distribution
Sixteen species of Podocampa live in the western Euro-Mediterranean region; and six more were described from North America (Allen 1994; Condé & Geeraert 1962). Five of the 16 western Euro- Mediterranean species of Podocampa inhabit cave habitats in karst areas from the west of the Iberian Peninsula throughout the Cantabrian region, the Basque Mountains including the Pyrenees (Sendra et al. 2003), in addition to Sardinia (Condé 1975). The rest of the species inhabit a soil environment with a preference for humid spots from the upper horizons of the soil to MSS around the Iberian Peninsula, from the northern slopes of the Pyrenees to the North of Africa (Condé 1956a; Bareth 1983) (Fig. 62).
