Cueva del Gato , twilight zone, 27-III-2016, 1 juv.
The single individual collected appears to represent a new species similar to H. vernalis (Carl, 1901), characterized by tibiotarsi with one slightly knobbed tenent hair, empodium with broad basal lamella, dorso-lateral parts of Th II-III with m6 chaeta, Ant IV with trilobed apical bulb and 7 sensillae, dens with 6-7 chaetae, 2.7 times as long as mucro, PAO nearly the same size as an ommatidium, anal spines minute, on high papillae, coarse body granulation (8 granules between the p1 chaetae of Abd V) and 1 mm length. The species is grey-blue and does not show characters typically present in cave adapted species.
Additional material is needed to confirm the identity of the species.
