Subgenus Dydimocampa Paclt, 1957

Dydimocampa Paclt, 1957: 46 .

Diagnosis (Paclt 1957; Condé 1996)

Dydimocampa shares with Plusiocampa s. str. the same taxonomic features, with the exception of the two dorsal femoral macrosetae. This fact, together with their distribution patterns, suggests that

Dydimocampa is an artificial subgenus based on a single apomorphic feature that has probably appeared several times in Plusiocampa s. str.

Habitat and distribution

The three species treated here are cave-dwellers with a subterranean life-style and they are distributed in three disjunct karst areas in Europe (Fig. 211).
