Cestocampa gasparoi
Bareth, 1988
Cestocampa gasparoi
was the first troglomorphic species of the genus to be described from a subterranean environment (
Bareth 1988
). It was described on the basis of a single male 4.8 mm long and without cerci. This specimen has long antennae with 27 and 29 antennomeres, a big cupuliform organ on the apical antennomere with 12 or 13 sensilla, and more developed tergal crests on the claws than on the endogean species
C. italica
and
C. balcanica
.
Bareth (1988)
mistakenly wrote that the three subapical setae of the tarsus were glabrous in
C. gasparoi
, but with thin barbs in
C. balcanica
. On the contrary, the two dorsal subapical setae (
sda, sdp
) are glabrous in both species and only the lateral subapical seta of
C. balcanica
has very thin barbs, as in the
sla2
and the
ssa
setae. In
C. gasparoi
, the
sla2
and
ssa
setae have some very short barbs. The appendages of urosternite I have a latero-internal field of about 50 long, thin glandular a2-setae, but lack glandular setae on the posterior margin of urosternite I. Urosternite I has 7+7 macrochaetae.
