Description.
Maximum length 1,0-
1.3 mm
(
Holotype
: 1,0
5 mm
). Apparently without pigment. 3+3 eyes. Ratio antenna/cephalic diagonal 1,3 and 1,5. Antennal segments I/II/III/IV ratios 2.05/1.14/1.31/1.00 (n = 2). Sensorial seta
s
of the sensory organ of antennal segment III expanded (leaf shaped). Apical vesicle absent from antennal segment IV.
Formula of the labial base (
Fig. 22
):
M1M2rEL1L2
(all setae ciliated except
r
, that is a vestigial microchaeta.
Formula of the dorsal macrochaetae:
R011/00/0201+2
. Anterior seta to pseudopore thoracic II absent. Abdominal tergite II chaetotaxy: -

as broad ciliated and pointed macrochaetae.
R
complex:

present (

). Accessory seta
s
in the anterior trichobothrial complex of abdominal tergite IV present (
Fig. 23
). Seta
P
on abdominal tergite IV slightly anterior to the trichobothrium (
Fig. 24
). Medial seta
M1
between the trichobothria
T1
and
T2
; pseudopore nearest
M1
.
Unguis (
Fig. 25
) with dental plate occupying 60% of the basal internal edge; one of the basal tooth slightly bigger than the other one; medial tooth well developed, approximately 70% from base of total unguis. Unguiculus appendage acuminate with small denticles. Dorsal tibiotarsi tenent hair clavate. Legs without scales. Retinaculum with 4 + 4 teeth and one ciliated seta. Two internal and two external setae related to two distal pseudopores of manubrial plate. Mucro with distal tooth longer than the anteapical; the basal spine reaches just to the tip of the distal tooth.
Etymology.
The species name is dedicated to Dr. José Carlos Simón, Spanish collembologist.
Discussion.
P. s i m o n i
sp. nov. has a unique macrochaetotaxy. The closest species with the same macrochaetae formula is:
