by observing the male pedipalp in external lateral (Fig. 1) and ventral (Fig. 2) view, by the club-shaped “lamella characteristica” (lc, Fig. 3), the terminal apophysis divided in two lobes (lta in Figs 1-2), the lack of teeth on the paracymbium (pc, Fig. 4), the presence of 3-4 spine-shaped teeth on the proximal part of the embolus (ppe, Figs 1-2). Females are diagnosed by the roughly rectangular proscape (ps, Fig. 6) with curved edges, wider than long, indented midway at its base and highly protruding in lateral view (Fig. 8).

(see Graffiti 2009). The cave opened to tourism in the mid-1950s and through the years has be- come an important tourist attraction, with approximately 15.000 tourists/year visiting the cave from May to Octo- ber. In light of the biological and geological characteris- tics of the cave and the concurrent pressure of tourism, an environmental monitoring program of Su Marmuri cave started in 2021, in the framework of the research project of national relevance “Showcave”. Data shows how the presence of tourists in the cave during summer does not alter the cave microclimate (

In general terms, the current management of the cave as a tourist attraction does not seem to have negative effects on the survival of this endemic species.
