Diagnosis ( Condé 1962)

Troglomorphic species. Cupuliform organ with 10–14 complex olfactory chemoreceptors. Protruding frontal process with non-tubercular setae. Pronotum with 1+1 ma, 4+4 la, 2+2 lp macrosetae; mesonotum with 1+1 ma, 3+3 la, 2+2 lp macrosetae; metanotum with 1+1 ma, 3+3 la, 2+2 lp macrosetae; long, barbed notal macrosetae; long clothing setae covered with thin barbs. Subequal elbow-like claws (1.1) with large lateral crests, posterior claw with a backward overhang. Urotergite III with 1+1 la, 0+0–1+1 post macrosetae; urotergite IV with 2+2 la, 1+1–3+3 post macrosetae; urotergite V with 2+2–3+3 la, 2+2–4+4 post macrosetae; urotergites VI–VII with 3+3 la, 4+4 post macrosetae; urotergite VIII with 6+6 post macrosetae; abdominal segment IX with 8+8–8+9 post macrosetae. Urosternite I with 15+15– 16+16, urosternites II–VII with 7+7–8+8, urosternite VIII with 3+3 macrosetae. Male without glandular g 1 setae, slightly subtrapezoidal appendages with glandular a 1 and a 2 setae; females with subcylindrical appendages and an apical area with glandular a 1 setae.

Remarks ( Figs 1–2 )

The study of many specimens collected in 6 new caves (see Table S 2 in Supplementary Material) allowed us to complete Condé’s diagnosis, as well as to supplement it with some minor taxonomic details. Medial antennomeres with 10–12 gouge sensilla 40–50 µm long. End of metathoracic leg reaches end of abdomen; calcars covered with barbs; subapical setae with thin barbs almost from base up to twothirds of length. Stylus with an apical seta with a few thin barbs and a large, thick basal tooth, medial and subapical setae covered with thin barbs. Male appendages with up to 60 glandular a 2 setae and 20 a 1 glandular setae ( Fig. 1 ); female appendages with up to 18 a 1 glandular setae. Spermatozoid fascicle wheels with 2 turns of 140–160 µm long and up to 4 µm wide filament ( Fig. 2 ).

Habitat and distribution

Subterranean species found in eight caves in eastern Sardinia ( Fig. 210 ).
