REMARKS
This species was recently described from nine specimens collected in a cave in Teverga, and in Vega de Enol, both in Asturias Province ( Djursvoll 2019). The present record in Cantabria province is 35 km southeast from the closest locality, so it only slightly extends the known range of the species. The presence of Polydesmus asturiensis in a cave and the MSS, indicate at least a partially subterranean lifestyle. The morphology of the gonopod of the captured specimens corresponds to the original description ( Djursvoll 2019), but the exomere seems to be slightly longer and more twisted. However, observation with different angles of tilt may cause different impressions ( Fig. 5 View FIG A-C).
