Diagnosis ( Condé 1951b)

Cave-adapted species; body length 4.0– 6.9 mm; epicuticle with small microdenticles visible at high magnifications; clothing setae smooth or with a few small apical barbs; antennae with 36–50 antennomeres; sensillum of third antennomere in ventral position; cupuliform organ with seven to nine complex olfactory chemoreceptors; long, robust and barbed notal macrosetae; long thin pine cone notal marginal setae; 1+1 s ma submacrosetae on I–VII urotergites; 1+1 la, 1+1 lp on V–VII urotergites; 1+1 mp, 3+3 lp on VIII urotergite;1+1 mp, 5+5 lp on IX abdominal segment; males without glandular g 1 -setae; cerci longer than body with 9 to 20 articles covered in long macrosetae with thin barbs along distal half to two-thirds and a few clothing setae.

A different population, C. ( C.) aff. egena in Sendra & Escolà 2004 , has no ma submacrosetae on

urotergites I–VII, but glandular g 1 -setae in males. This population is distributed along caves throughout the coastal mountain range on the eastern Iberian Peninsula ( Bareth & Condé 1981; Sendra & Escolà

2004).

Habitat and distribution

Cave-dwelling species endemic to the Montserrat Massif in the Catalonian Mountain Range, northeast Iberian Peninsula ( Condé 1951b; Sendra 1990b; Sendra & Escolà 2004), whereas Campodea ( C.) aff. egena is distributed south of the f. typ.
