Cestocampa gasparoi Bareth, 1988

Cestocampa gasparoi was the first troglomorphic species of the genus to be described from a subterranean environment ( Bareth 1988). It was described on the basis of a single male 4.8 mm long and without cerci. This specimen has long antennae with 27 and 29 antennomeres, a big cupuliform organ on the apical antennomere with 12 or 13 sensilla, and more developed tergal crests on the claws than on the endogean species C. italica and C. balcanica . Bareth (1988) mistakenly wrote that the three subapical setae of the tarsus were glabrous in C. gasparoi , but with thin barbs in C. balcanica . On the contrary, the two dorsal subapical setae (sda, sdp) are glabrous in both species and only the lateral subapical seta of C. balcanica has very thin barbs, as in the sla2 and the ssa setae. In C. gasparoi , the sla2 and ssa setae have some very short barbs. The appendages of urosternite I have a latero-internal field of about 50 long, thin glandular a2-setae, but lack glandular setae on the posterior margin of urosternite I. Urosternite I has 7+7 macrochaetae.
