Campodea (Campodea) patrizii Condé, 1953c: 34 , fig. 2ª c–i.

Diagnosis ( Condé 1953c)

Body length 2.0 mm, in juvenile male; epicuticle with thick microdenticles; clothing setae short, smooth or with a few thin apical barbs, with 0–3 distal barbs; thick sensilla of third antennomere in dorsal position; 1+1 la, 1+1 lp macrosetae on mesonotum, 1+1 lp on metanotum; long barbed notal macrosetae; thin pine cone notal marginal setae; 1+1 la, 1+1 lp macrosetae on VI–VII urotergites, 3+3 lp on VIII urotergite and 5+5 lp on IX abdominal segment. It was described from one juvenile male, with broken antennae. The differences with C. (C.) remyi could be due to age, more samples are needed to redescribe this species, otherwise it should be synonymized.

Habitat and distribution

Soil-dwelling species found in a cave located in the southwest of Sardinia Island ( Condé 1953c).
