Feltria (Feltria) rouxi Walter, 1907

Remarks. This species is rare in the Lurenzgriecht ( Tab. 1 ) and at the present time there is only a fragmentary description by Efford (1966) without any morphometric measurements and one illustration in Martin (1998).

Two characters seem to enable a separation of the two species: in F. rouxi the separation of the coxal plates I and II (nearly to the median margin of the common plate) is more extended than in F. m ot as i (the separation reaches only the level of seta C1). But obviously some metric characters are also different, e.g., a long seta V 4 in F. rouxi (about 100µm: Müller 2015; Müller & Martin, in prep.) in contrast to a short one in F. setigera (<50µm).
