Campodea (Campodea) sardiniensis Bareth, 1980

Campodea (Campodea) sardiniensis Bareth, 1980: 121, figs Ia–f, IIa–d, IIIa.

Diagnosis (Bareth 1980)

Body length 2.0– 3.5 mm; epicuticle with microdenticles; short, smooth clothing setae; antennae with 20–24 antennomeres; sensillum of third antennomere in ventral position; short (ma, la) and barbed notal macrosetae; short notal marginal setae with long apical barbs; one trochanteral sensillum; 1+1 short ma on I–VII urotergites; 1+1 lp on IV urotergite, 1+1 la, 1+1 lp on V–VII urotergites; 1+1 mp, 3+3 lp on VIII urotergite and 1+1 mp, 5+5 lp on IX abdominal segment; cerci covered in short macrosetae similar to clothing setae, but latero-interior macrosetae shorter with distal barb. In the Iberian Peninsula, C. (C.) sardinensis shows some differences to the f. typ. from Sardinia (Sendra & Moreno 2004): la urotergal macrosetae in backward position; cerci covered in latero-interior macrosetae similar size with others and antennae with 27–31 antennomeres.

Habitat and distribution

Soil-dwelling species inhabiting humid soils under moss near springs and water zones. The f. typ. has been collected on Sardinia Island (Bareth 1980) but was also quoted in Lazio, Italian Peninsula, by Ramellini (1990). The Iberian population was found between the Aragonese and the coastal Catalan Mountains (Sendra & Moreno 2004).
