(11) Pseudocandona insculpta (G.W. Müller, 1900)

and Pseudocandona vasconica ( Margalef, 1946)

The original description of Candona neglecta var. vasconica mentions a small distal “appendage” on the anterior side of the penultimate A2 segment, which obviously is the reduced G2-claw that characterizes the female antennae of Ps. insculpta and Ps. compressa . The shallow valve pits reported by Margalef (1946) tend to indicate that he either dealt with adults of Ps. insculpta or with late juveniles of Ps. compressa . The species is here transferred to Pseudocandona (see above) and tentatively listed as a synonym of Pseudocandona insculpta (G.W. Müller, 1900) .
