Subterranean Campodeidae fauna from Sicily (Diplura): its biogeographical interest with the description of a new species of Plusiocampa

Abstract: A description is given of a biogeographically interesting new species of Campodeidae (Diplura), Plusiocampa (Plusiocampa) tinoamorei sp. nov., a troglobiotic species found in the Sicilian Villasmundo and Scrivilleri caves. A second subterranean species already known from three caves in northwest Sicily near Palermo, Campodea (Campodea) majorica sicula Condé, 1957, also was studied. Both species were characterized with SEM. Each species belongs to a different monophyletic group: Plusiocampa s. str., with thorac… Show more

“…Bareth (1968) suggested the use of the variability in the shape of spermatozoids fascicles and spermatophors in Campodeoidea as a taxonomic character. Recently, scanning electron microscopy studies have provided additional details about cuticular structures, setae, and sensilla (Sendra et al, 2019(Sendra et al, , 2020a. Morphological characters fail to provide a clear phylogeny below family level and hitherto molecular data for dipluran species is still very scarce.…”

“…The presence or absence of medial posterior macrosetae on the mesonotum and metanotum splits Plusiocampa s. str. into two biogeographically distinct subgroups (Condé, 1956;Sendra et al, 2019;Sendra et al, 2020c 5, Fig. 104).…”

“…Colonization: Multiple hypotheses have been suggested to explain the colonization of the Euro-Mediterranean basin by campodeid diplurans (Sendra et al, 2004;Sendra et al, 2019;Sendra et al, 2020a, c, d). These colonization hypotheses use families, subfamilies, genera, and subgenera of cave-adapted species of campodeids as groups to compare with their current well-known distribution ranges.…”
