Genus Campodea Westwood, 1842

Diagnosis.

Notal macrosetae pattern as 1 + 1 ma, 1 + 1 la, 1 + 1 lp macrosetae on pronotum or more, and up to 1 + 1 ma, 1 + 1 la, 1 + 1 lp macrosetae on mesonotum and up to 1 + 1 ma, 1 + 1 lp on metanotum; without dorsal femoral macrosetae; with one short ventral tibial macroseta; smooth, curved, subequal claws with smooth, setiform, telotarsal process; not more than one pair of ma macrosetae on I – VII urotergites and up to one pair of la and lp on urotergites III – VII; with or without medial anterior or medial posterior macrosetae on urotergite VIII and abdominal segment IX; 3 + 3-2 + 2 lp macrosetae on urotergite VIII and 5 + 5-4 + 4 lp macrosetae on abdominal segment IX; first urosternite with 6 + 6 macrosetae (with 1 + 1 extra shorter, thinner macrosetae in Libanocampa coiffaiti Condé, 1955 ), 4 + 4 on urosternites II – VII and 1 + 1 on urosternite VIII; male first urosternite with area of continuous glandular g 1 - setae (split in two or absent in some species), subtrapezoidal appendages with glandular a 1 and a 2 setae (only a 1 in a few species); females without g 1 glandular setae (exception: C. (C.) franzi ) with subcylindrical appendages with a 1 glandular setae. Cercal articles covered with whorls of macrosetae and setae in most species.

Remarks.

The genus Campodea is divided into five subgenera: Campodea s. str. Silvestri, 1932, Dicampa Silvestri, 1932 , Indocampa Silvestri, 1933 , Monocampa Silvestri, 1932 and Paurocampa Silvestri, 1932 . The monotypic subgenus Hypercampa Silvestri, 1933 , with Campodea (Hypercampa) essigi Silvestri, 1933 from California ( USA), is excluded from the genus Campodea due to its thick and barbed telotarsal process.

Distribution.

Although they are distributed all over the world, the majority of species have been described in the Holarctic realm ( Condé 1956).
