67. Allajulus marguareisi (Strasser, 1970)

Cylindroiulus marguereisi Strasser, 1970 .

Distribution

IT-ITA (Piedmont).

Habitat

Described from a cave, Arma delle Fascetti, at Viozene in the Province of Ormea (1250 m); also found epigeically at Frabosa Soprana ca 15 km N of the type locality (G. Delmastro leg., HE det., specimens in ZMUC).

Remarks

Read (1990) suggested that this could be A. groedensis with a broken preanal spine. The two species are indeed very similar, and Strasser (1970) mentioned the straight preanal spine as one of the distinguishing characters. The specimens from Frabosa Soprana, however, have a pointed, upturned preanal spine, just like A. groedensis .
