Variability remarks
The male specimen studied from a sample collected a long time ago in a cave at
50 km
distance from one of the localities where
C. intermedia
was previously found (Calasparra) is tentatively assigned to this species, although a revision of the group
Coletinia intermedia
+
Coletinia tinauti
should be done, perhaps also including
C. calaforrai
. The only male available from this new locality agrees with
C. intermedia
in most characters but differs in having longer tibiae (ratio L/W of metatibiae about 6.07 while it ranges from
4.8 to 5.1 in
other male specimens), a lower number of setae in the disc of the tenth urotergite (7, while other male specimens show 10–11 discal setae), a higher number of pegs in the urotergite X (8+ 8 while other males of this species show 4–5+ 4–5 pegs) and longer paramera (their ratio length/width is about 6.1, while it ranges from
4.9 to 5.1 in
other specimens). These differences are provisionally interpreted as intraspecific variability, but this should be reassessed in the future together with the variability of
C. tinauti
(see below in the section of this species and in discussion section).
The formula of pegs on cerci of the
holotype
can not be established because these appendages are damaged in this specimen. In the male collected in Cueva del Puerto (Calasparra,
Murcia
), the formula of pegs on cerci is: C1 (1[1
id
]) +C2 (1[1
id+
0–1iv] +2[1
id +
0–1iv] +3[1
id
] +4[0–1
id +
0–1iv]). This formula is similar in the new specimen from Cueva del Solin but in this case, pegs are less blunt. The formula of paracercus is P1(0d) +P2(1[1d] +2[1d]) in the specimen of Cueva del Puerto and P1(1d)+ P2(1[1d] +2[1d]) in the male from Cueva del Solín.
