Body size 2.5–4.7 mm; epicuticle with microdenticles; smooth, short clothing setae; antennae with 20– 26 antennomeres; sensillum of third antennomere in dorsal position (between b-c and c-d macrosetae); short (ma, la) and long (lp) barbed notal macrosetae; lp mesonotal longer than lp metanotal; notal marginal setae short and with long apical barbs; 1+1 short swollen ma macrosetae on I–VII urotergites, 1+1 la, 1+1 lp on V–VII urotergites, 1+1 short mp, 3+3 lp on VIII urotergite and 1+1 short mp 5+5 lp on IX abdominal segment; females with slightly enlarged appendages on first urosternite with glandular a 1 and a 2 -glandular setae; cerci with ten articles covered in macrosetae and a few clothing setae, but swollen latero-interior macrosetae on proximal articles.

Taxonomic notes

The studied material (Supplementary file 2) has allowed to draw new figures of the nota ( Fig. 42 ), urotergites ( Fig. 43 ), and male and female first urosternite ( Figs 44–45 ).

Habitat and distribution

Soil-dwelling species distributed from England (Bagnall 1918a; Womersley 1927; Condé 1951a, 1961) to the Pyrenees ( Condé & Mathieu 1957), throughout eastern French regions ( Condé 1947c, 1947h, 1951a).
