Taxonomic notes.

Observations under electronic scanning microscope shown several taxonomic morphological characters in details: short gouge sensilla on antennomeres (Fig. 8 a); trichobothria with large embase (Fig. 8 b); male urosternite I (Fig. 8 c) with subspherical appendages, each with an apical field containing glandular a 1 setae in addition to a continuous posterior field of g 1 glandular setae arranged in several rows; and, urosternites I – VII with short stylus and large exerted vesicles with two differentiated cuticle areas (Fig. 8 d-f).

Habitat and distribution.

A soil-dwelling species that is found also at the entrances of caves and in their deeper zones when abundant organic matter is available (Condé 1974; Sendra et al. 2012). It is common and well-distributed in Central and Eastern Europe (Tuxen 1930; Condé, 1954, 1966; Paclt and Rusek 1961; Condé 1956; Rusek 1965 b; Paclt 1961, 1969; Blesić 1984, 1997, 2000 b, 2001; Christian 1992; Sendra et al. 2012), extending its distribution southward into central Italy (Condé 1966; Ramellini 2000).
