Diagnosis ( Silvestri 1912; Condé 1978a; Bareth 1980)

Body length 1.3–4.1 mm; epicuticle with microdenticles; short, smooth clothing setae; antennae with 19–24 antennomeres; sensillum of third antennomere in dorsal position; long, barbed notal macrosetae; slightly thin pine cone marginal setae with long barbs and slightly longer than clothing setae; smooth subapical setae of tarsus; 1+1 lp macrosetae on VI–VII urotergites, 3+3 lp on VIII urotergite and 5+5 lp IX abdominal segment; cerci shorter than body with 10 articles covered in long macrosetae with barbs and a few clothing setae (latero-interior macrosetae slightly swollen in Corsican specimens); small spermatozoid fascicles, 33–36 μm in diameter and 10 μm wide, spiral filament with 1.5–2 spirals, 93–150 μm long and 1 μm diameter.

Taxonomic notes

Condé (1947e, 1978a) used the ratio between la mesonotal length macrosetae and the separation of their basis (ε) to propose subspecies. The study of 20 specimens from Sardinia Island (Supplementary file 2) shows that the la /ε length ratio is variable during the growth, consequently it has no solid taxonomic value ( Table 3 ).
