Campodea (Dicampa) crimeaensis Rusek, 1965

Campodea (Dicampa) crimeaensis Rusek, 1965a: 1354 , figs 5(3–18), 4(1–6).

Diagnosis ( Rusek 1965a)

Body length 2.8–3.0 mm; short, smooth clothing setae; antennae with 28 antennomeres; short (ma, la) and long (lp) poorly barbed notal; notal marginal setae short, smooth or with a few apical barbs; 1+1 lp macrosetae on VI–VII urotergites, 3+3 lp on VIII urotergite and 5+5 lp on IX abdominal segment. The specimens of C. (D.) crimeaensis studied (Sendra et al. 2006) and collected from the Anatolian Peninsula show some differences from the original description such as antennae with 20–25 antennomeres, notal macrosetae with more abundant barbs and thin pine cone notal marginal setae. In addition to small spermatozoid fascicles with 35–45 μm diameter, spiral filament with 5 spirals, 900–1000 μm long and 1 μm diameter, as observed.

Habitat and distribution

Soil-dwelling species found at both sides of the Black Sea, in the Crimean Peninsula ( Rusek 1965a) and in the Anatolian Peninsula (Sendra et al. 2006).
