Comment.
Anna Petrochilou, the prominent Greek speleologist, was the first to observe and report ( Petrochilou 1975–1976) cave crickets at her inspection of ‘ Katakomves’ which are the caves situated underneath the mosque of Aslan Tzami. The mοsque was built by the Ottoman pasha Aslan in 1618 in the castle of the town of Ioannina and is now operating as the Municipal Museum of Ioannina. After almost half a century, a name can finally be assigned to the population; they belong to Dolichopoda graeca , a species known only from the type locality, the cave of Perama, 4 km from the town of Ioannina ( Chopard 1964; Di Russo et al. 2014).
