Additional Data to Original Description

This species was originally described from Cueva del Saliente and also found in Almería, which is 45 km from GKS. In the original description (Jordana & Baquero, 2017) [ 42], the maximum size mentioned was 0.82 mm; in the caves in the studied area ( GKS), some specimens are bigger, up to 0.99 mm (head and body, excluding antennae). Furthermore, some specimens that could not be identified initially had 2 + 2 eyes, and so the species can be described with the current data as having 0 + 0 or 2 + 2 eyes. There is no correlation between the presence of eyed specimens and the caves in which they appear. The proportion of eyed specimens is low, estimated at 10–20%, and given the large number of specimens studied (1140), it was indeed a stroke of luck to find that they existed (only a small proportion of them, around 10%, were mounted). Some specimens of the Yesos’s caves lack the m chaeta above T 2 bothriotrichum on Abd IV, sometimes at both sides, and sometimes asymmetrically.
