- <p><b><i>Plusiocampa</i> (<i>Plusiocampa</i>) <i>caprai</i> Condé, 1950</b></p><p><i>Plusiocampa caprai</i> Condé, 1950: 1, figs a–e.</p><p><b>Diagnosis</b> (Condé 1950, 1954a; Christian <i>et al.</i> 1996)</p><p>Slightly troglomorphic species. Antennae with 28–30 antennomeres. Pronotum with 1+1 <i>ma</i>, 3+3 <i>la</i>, 2+2 <i>lp</i> macrosetae; mesonotum with 1+1 <i>ma</i>, 3+3 <i>la</i>, 2+2 <i>lp</i>, 1+1 <i>mp</i> macrosetae; metanotum with 1+1 <i>ma</i>, 1+1 <i>la</i>, 2+2 <i>lp</i>, 1+1 <i>mp</i> 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 <i>post</i> macrosetae; urotergite III with 2+2 <i>post</i> macrosetae; urotergite IV with 1+1 <i>la</i>, 5+5 (4+4) <i>post</i> macrosetae; urotergite V with 2+2 (1+1) <i>la</i>, 5+5 <i>post</i> macrosetae; urotergites VI–VII with 2+2 <i>la</i>, 5+5 <i>post</i> macrosetae; urotergite VIII with 6+6 <i>post</i> macrosetae; abdominal segment IX with 8+8 <i>post</i> macrosetae. Urosternite I with 7+7, urosternites II–VII with 5+5, urosternite VIII with 2+2 macrosetae. Male without glandular <i>g 1</i> setae, slightly enlarged subcylindrical appendages with <i>a 1</i> glandular setae; female with subcylindrical appendages with <i>a 1</i> glandular setae.</p><p><b>Remarks</b></p><p>One male and one female of <i>P.</i> (<i>P.</i>) <i>caprai</i> 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 <i>P.</i> (<i>P.</i>) <i>caprai</i>, 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.</p><p><b>Habitat and distribution</b></p><p>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.</p>
