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).
