Remarks

Type series consisting of 53 ♂♂ and 66 ♀♀ from two caves in the Andorran Pyrenees ( Comas, 1978a).The specimens deposited in the MCNB are labelled with the collection date 2 October 1974 rather than 2 November 1974, according to Comas (1978a). The author of the description refers to paratypes originally deposited in the MCNB collected on 17 December 1974 from both caves, and to paratypes from the type locality collected on 7 October 1978, although we have been unable to locate such material. The rest of the paratypes deposited in the JCC; the paratypes originally deposited in the XBC ( Comas, 1978a) have been donated to the MCNB collection.
