Campodea ( Campodea) patrizii Condé, 1953c: 34 , fig. 2ª c–i.

Diagnosis ( Condé 1953c)

Body length 2.0 mm, in juvenile male; epicuticle with thick microdenticles; clothing setae short, smooth or with a few thin apical barbs, with 0–3 distal barbs; thick sensilla of third antennomere in dorsal position; 1+1 la, 1+1 lp macrosetae on mesonotum, 1+1 lp on metanotum; long barbed notal macrosetae; thin pine cone notal marginal setae; 1+1 la, 1+1 lp macrosetae on VI–VII urotergites, 3+3 lp on VIII urotergite and 5+5 lp on IX abdominal segment. It was described from one juvenile male, with broken antennae. The differences with C. ( C.) remyi could be due to age, more samples are needed to redescribe this species, otherwise it should be synonymized.

Habitat and distribution
