Diagnosis ( Sendra & Condé 1987; Sendra 2001; Sendra et al. 2004)

Troglomorphic species. Antennae with 32–34 antennomeres; 15–18 complex olfactory chemoreceptors in cupuliform organ; slightly protruding frontal process with non-tubercular setae. Pronotum with 1+1 ma, 3+3 (4+3) la, 2+2 lp macrosetae; mesonotum with 1+1 ma, 2+2 la, 2+2 lp, 1+1 mp macrosetae; metanotum with 1+1 ma, 1+1 la, 2+2 lp (1+1 lp supplementary in some populations), 1+1 mp macrosetae. Two or three ventral tibial macrosetae; subequal claws (1.1) with large lateral crests, posterior claw with a small backward overhang. Urotergites I–III with 1+1 post macrosetae; urotergite IV with 1+1 la, 2+2–3+3–4+3 post macrosetae; urotergites V–VII with 1+1 la, 5+5 (4+5) post macrosetae; urotergite VIII with 6+6 (6+5, 6+7) post macrosetae; abdominal segment IX with 8+8 (8+9) post macrosetae; urosternite I with 7+7, urosternites II–VII with 5+5, urosternite VIII with 2+2 macrosetae. Male with a narrow area of glandular g 1 setae, subclylindrical appendages with glandular a 1 setae; female with subcylindrical appendages bearing glandular a 1 setae. Spermatozoid fascicle wheels with 1½ turns of 110–140 µm long and 6 µm wide filament.

Remarks

Ten specimens from the Chorros and Farallón Caves in Riopar, Albacete, Spain (see Table S 2 View Table 2 in Supplementary Material) were used for SEM to study some features that are difficult to observe under an optical microscope. Epicuticle slightly reticulate, with large polygonal pattern ( Fig. 107 View Figs 107–112 ); antennomeres with a whorl of thin gouge sensilla, 34–36 µm long, with an external transversal striped surface ( Figs 96–100 View Figs 95–100 ). Cupuliform organ with spheroidal olfactory chemoreceptors in a complex spiral shape ( Fig. 95 View Figs 95–100 ). Head suboval with slightly protruding frontal process ( Figs 101–102 View Figs 101–106 ). Labial palp with short neuroglandular setae ( Figs 103–106 View Figs 101–106 ). Tarsus with two ventral barbed rows ( Fig. 112 View Figs 107–112 ). Claws with large lateral crest with dorsal striated surface and with ventral longitudinal grooves separated by a multihemispherical surface ( Figs 108–111 View Figs 107–112 ). Male with a large area of glandular g 1 setae and slightly thicker subcylindrical appendages ( Figs 113–117 View Figs 113–118 ). Stylar setae covered by a few thin, short barbs ( Fig. 118 View Figs 113–118 ).

Habitat and distribution

Subterranean species found in 31 caves in the external zone of the Baetic Mountain Range, around the carbonate areas of the Cazorla, Segura, Alcaraz and Castril Mountains and the peripheral karst areas of Filabres Mountain and the Yesos de Sorbas, southeastern Iberian Peninsula ( Fig. 203 View Figs 202–204. 202 ).
