Abstract

A new cave-dwelling species, Deuteraphorura pieroluccii sp. n., is described from northern Italy. The size of adult specimens, number, and distribution of dorsal and ventral pseudocelli, and number of compound vesicles of the post antennal organ were used to distinguish it among other congeneric species.
