Diagnosis, habitat and distribution
In spite of the effort made by
Condé (1956a)
to maintain the genus
Eutrichocampa
, the eleven species of
Eutrichocampa
described show a staggering variability in different characters, which led
Paclt (1957)
to propose five subgenera and a genus for them. Species of
Eutrichocampa
(in a wide sense) have been found on four continents: South America, Africa, Asia and Europe. The laminar or subcylindrical telotarsal process with abundant barbs is the only, presumably synapomorphic, feature to gather all these soil dwelling species. The claws are smooth and have no lateral crests. In the present monograph, we follow the criteria of
Condé (1956a)
for
Eutrichocampa
, meaning that in Europe and in the Mediterranean regions seven species have been described (
