Diagnosis
A species of Stygiiulus stat. nov. with normal mouthparts. Distinguishable from congeners by the combination of certain gonopodal characters ( Fig. 10D View Fig ), viz., a mostly straight pro- and mesomere, and an opisthomere with a faint and blunt posterior hump, a marginally broad (not tapering) and deeply serrated velum, and a solenomere with both the anterior and the posterior solenomeral branch being well developed and clearly discernible.
Distribution
This species has the widest distribution of all representatives of the genus Stygiiulus stat. nov. Known from numerous caves, as well as epigean habitats, ranging from the Julian Alps in the east, across the southern parts of the Carnic Alps Range, through the Venetian Prealps, all the way to the Piave River in the west ( Fig. 13 View Fig , pink squares).
Remark
Attems (1927: 250, 251, figs 352–354) gave a short description and drawings of what he thought was already described as S. tobias comb. nov. from Monte Cavallo (Lombardy). Just two/three years later, Verhoeff (1930) described another blind julid, S. maximus comb. nov., from a cave in the same area. What is evident from the gonopod drawings of both Attems and Verhoeff alone – that is that Attems’ (1927) record actually refers to S. maximus comb. nov. – was already confirmed by Strasser (1962: 60) based on re-examination of the specimens from Monte Cavallo.
