Diagnosis ( Condé 1950 , 1954a ; Christian et al. 1996 ) Slightly troglomorphic species. Antennae with 28–30 antennomeres. Pronotum with 1+1 ma , 3+3 la , 2+2 lp macrosetae; mesonotum with 1+1 ma , 3+3 la , 2+2 lp , 1+1 mp macrosetae; metanotum with 1+1 ma , 1+1 la , 2+2 lp , 1+1 mp macrosetae; long, barbed notal macrosetae; abundant notal clothing setae, either smooth or with a few thin barbs. Three ventral tibial macrosetae; unequal claws with large lateral crests, posterior claw with a backward overhang. Urotergites I–II with 1+1 post macrosetae; urotergite III with 2+2 post macrosetae; urotergite IV with 1+1 la , 5+5 (4+4) post macrosetae; urotergite V with 2+2 (1+1) la , 5+5 post macrosetae; urotergites VI–VII with 2+2 la , 5+5 post macrosetae; urotergite VIII with 6+6 post macrosetae; abdominal segment IX with 8+8 post macrosetae. Urosternite I with 7+7, urosternites II–VII with 5+5, urosternite VIII with 2+2 macrosetae. Male without glandular g 1 setae, slightly enlarged subcylindrical appendages with a 1 glandular setae; female with subcylindrical appendages with a 1 glandular setae. Remarks One male and one female of P. ( P. ) caprai from Babja jama ( Slovenia ) have been studied. However, two females collected from an MSS habitat in Corinthia (Peloponnese Peninsula) (see Table S 2 in Supplementary Material) appear to be very closely related to P. ( P. ) caprai , although the substantial geographical distance between these two areas and the observation of only females cast doubts on this specific attribution. Furthermore, all antennae and cerci are broken. The frontal process shows a protrusion and bears tubercular setae. Figs 42–43.

Habitat and distribution Hypogean species inhabiting subterranean and soil habitats, found in six caves, one mine and two soil and MSS habitats in the Austrian, Italian, Slovenian and Swiss Alps.
