Diagnosis (Condé 1949c, 1982b)

Body length 4.0– 9.5 mm; epicuticle without microdenticles under optical microscope but visible in SEM; smooth clothing setae; antennae with 40–53 antennomeres; sensillum of third antennomere in ventral position; prominent frontal process; cupuliform organ with seven to eight complex olfactory chemoreceptors; 1+1 ma, 1+1 la, 1+1 lp macrosetae on promotum and mesonotum, 1+1 ma, 1+1 lp on metanotum; thick, long notal macrosetae with barbs along distal two-third to three-fourth; marginal setae longer and thicker than clothing setae with a few distal barbs; one dorsal femoral macroseta; one baciliform trochanteral sensillum; calcars with barbs along length; one but more frequently two ventral tibial machocaetae; smooth subapical tarsal setae; subequal elbow-like claws with small smooth lateral crests, smooth setiform telotarsal processes; 1+1 lp on III–IV urotergites; 1+1 la, 2+2 lp on V– VII urotergites, 1+1 mp, 3+3 lp on VIII urotergite, 1+1 mp, 5+5 lp on IX abdominal segment; male without glandular g 1 -setae (with g 1 in Cantabrian and Salvada Mountain specimens); male with large subtrapezoidal appendages with glandular a 1 and a 2 setae; long subcylindrical appendages in females slightly enlarged with glandular a 1 and a 2 setae; cerci covered in long macrosetae barbed along distal half and thin barbed clothing setae.

Taxonomic notes

The studied material (Supplementary file 2) has allowed to photograph some structures under SEM (Figs 27–28).
