Campodea (Monocampa), Silvestri, 1932

Subgenus Monocampa Silvestri, 1932

Monocampa Silvestri, 1932a: 116 .

Diagnosis ( Silvestri 1932a; Condé 1956a)

Notal formula with 1+1 ma, 1+1 la, 1+1 lp macrosetae on pronotum and 1+1 la on mesonotum; epicuticle with microdenticles, in some species thick and grained; without dorsal femoral macrosetae; one short ventral tibial macrosetae; subequal smooth, slightly curved claws; setiform smooth telotarsal process; 0+0 or 1+1 lp macrosetae and 0+0 or 1+1 la macrosetae on VI–VII urotergites; 3+3 lp macrosetae on VIII urotergite; 5+5 lp macrosetae on the IX abdominal segment; without medial anterior or posterior macrosetae on urotergites and VIII abdominal segment; first urosternite with 6+6 macrosetae, 4+4 on II–VII urosternites, 1+1 on VIII urosternite; first urosternite of male with glandular g 1 -setae, enlarged or round appendages with glandular a 1 and usualy a 2 -setae; female with subcylindrical appendages with glandular a 1 -setae.

Habitat and distribution

If the synonyms of C. ( M.) devoniensis Bagnall, 1918 are taken for granted as Paclt (1966) suggested, species of Monocampa are limited to the Western European and Mediterranean Regions, where seven described species inhabit soil environments ( Fig. 60 View Figs 60–61 ). Four of these species share the same island, Sardinia, where C. ( M.) denisi Wygodzinsky, 1941 , C. ( M.) aurunca Ramellini, 1990 , C. ( M.) emeryi Silvestri, 1912 and C. ( M.) devoniensis seem to occupy the soil from upper horizons (O and A) to endogean (B) habitats except for the subspecies M. emeryi spelaea Condé, 1978 found inside a cave ( Condé 1978a).
