Popis: Coletinia intermedia Molero, Bach & Gaju, 2013 Coletinia intermedia Molero, Bach & Gaju in Molero et al., 2013: 27, figs 54���64. Material examined SPAIN ��� 1 ♂; Murcia Province, Fortuna, Cueva del Sol��n; 4 Nov. 1984; M. Ortiz leg.; UCO, Ref. Z2506. Variability remarks The male specimen studied from a sample collected a long time ago in a cave at 50 km distance from one of the localities where C. intermedia was previously found (Calasparra) is tentatively assigned to this species, although a revision of the group Coletinia intermedia + Coletinia tinauti should be done, perhaps also including C. calaforrai. The only male available from this new locality agrees with C. intermedia in most characters but differs in having longer tibiae (ratio L/W of metatibiae about 6.07 while it ranges from 4.8 to 5.1 in other male specimens), a lower number of setae in the disc of the tenth urotergite (7, while other male specimens show 10���11 discal setae), a higher number of pegs in the urotergite X (8+ 8 while other males of this species show 4���5+ 4���5 pegs) and longer paramera (their ratio length/width is about 6.1, while it ranges from 4.9 to 5.1 in other specimens). These differences are provisionally interpreted as intraspecific variability, but this should be reassessed in the future together with the variability of C. tinauti (see below in the section of this species and in discussion section). The formula of pegs on cerci of the holotype can not be established because these appendages are damaged in this specimen. In the male collected in Cueva del Puerto (Calasparra, Murcia), the formula of pegs on cerci is: C1 (1[1 id]) +C2 (1[1 id+ 0���1iv] +2[1 id + 0���1iv] +3[1 id] +4[0���1 id + 0���1iv]). This formula is similar in the new specimen from Cueva del Solin but in this case, pegs are less blunt. The formula of paracercus is P1(0d) +P2(1[1d] +2[1d]) in the specimen of Cueva del Puerto and P1(1d)+ P2(1[1d] +2[1d]) in the male from Cueva del Sol��n.
