Differential diagnosis against the
type
form
This record is based on seven specimens found in Ledenjača Cave,
Bosnia and Herzegovina
(see
Table S
2
in Supplementary Material). Due to their clear differences from the
type
of
P.
(
P.
)
isterina
, described from Movile Cave, they have been identified as
P.
(
P.
) aff.
isterina
. Specimens from Ledenjača Cave have a higher number of antennomeres (25–28), six olfactory chemoreceptors in a relatively large cupuliform organ (occupying one third of a short antennomere) and a clearer protruding frontal process with remarkable tuberculate setae.
Habitat and distribution
Non-troglomorphic species. The nominate form is found in Peştera Movile Cave, Southern Dobruja,
Romania
. The aff. form is found in a cave in the Dinaric Mountains,
Bosnia
and Hercegovina.
