)
NEW
DATA. — One species of
Edoughnura
, new to science, has been found in the Collo massif.
DISTRIBUTION. — The genus
Edoughnura
was so far represented by a single species (
E. rara
Deharveng, Hamra-Kroua & Bedos, 2007
) endemic to the Edough massif.
REMARK
Rather frequent in our samples. The genus
Edoughnura
is morphologically very isolated in the tribe
Neanurini
by the modification of the distal tooth of its mandibles into a long ciliated flagellum, as well as by several chaetotaxic features. The undescribed species of Collo differs from
E. rara
from Edough by several important characters, such as the tubercle Af not fused with CL on head (vs fused), the dorso-internal tubercles of Abd. IV not fused on the axis (vs fused) and the presence of 2 +2 dorso-internal chaetae on abd. V (vs 3 +3).
