Taxonomic notes
A cave-adapted population of
C
(
D
)
aff. plagiaria
found in a cave in the northeast of
Morocco
(Supplementary file 2) has a body length of
4.3–6.4 mm
; epicuticle with microdenticles; clothing setae with a tiny distal barb; up to 49 antennomeres with up to 12 complex olfactory chemoreceptors in its cupuliform organ; sensillum of third antennomere in ventral position; short (
ma
,
la
) and long (
lp
) barbed notal macrosetae; long thin pine cone notal marginal setae; more than 27 articles in an incomplete cercus; elongated appendages (see
Table 2
). A non-cave-adapted population of
C.
(
D.
)
plagiaria
was found at the entrance of a cave in the extreme south of the Iberian Peninsula that allows to complete the original description with some unknown taxonomic features.

Habitat and distribution
Soil-dwelling species found at a single locality in the Rif Mountains,
Morocco
(
Silvestri 1932a
). A caveadapted form and a non-cave-adapted population have been found at the entrance of a cave in the Sierra de Grazalema Natural Park, southern Iberian Peninsula (
250 km
from the
type
locality in North Africa).
