Campodea (Monocampa) emeryi algira Condé, 1947g: 144, fig. g.

Differential diagnosis from the f. typ. (Condé 1947g, 1978a)

Antennae with 18–21 antennomeres; la macrosetae on mesonotum stronger and shorter than f. typ.; 2–3 long barbs on subapical setae of the tarsus.

Habitat and distribution

Soil-dwelling species widely distributed in soil habitats of Sardinia (Bareth 1980), Corsica (Condé 1978a) and Sicily (Wygodzinsky 1941b). Furthermore, it was found in the South of Italy (Silvestri 1912). Campodea (M.) emeryi algira was collected at a single locality (garden in Ramdane Djamel city, northeast of Algeria), although this subspecies should be reviewed as suggested by Condé (1978) against the Corsican specimens. Finally, the subspecies C. (M.) emeryi spelaea was found in the deepest zone of a cave near Sassari, northeast Sardinia; with moderate cave-adapted traits (Condé 1978a).
