Popis: Coletinia diania Molero, Bach & Gaju, 2013 Coletinia diania Molero, Bach & Gaju in Molero et al., 2013: 29, figs 65���75. Material examined SPAIN ��� 2 ♂♂; Alicante Province, Denia, Cova de la Punta de Benimaqua; 9 Jan. 2016; A. Sendra leg.; UCO, Ref. Z2641. Distribution Known only from its type locality in a cave of Alicante Province, in Spain. Variability remarks This is the second time this species is found at the same locality of its original description, that was based on only one male specimen. Unfortunately, females are also absent in this new sample and males collected lack the terminal filaments, so it is not possible to confirm the main character distinguishing this species from other related ones (i.e., the high number of pegs in the cerci and the position of two of them at the same level of the second division of the cerci). Regarding remaining diagnostic characters of C. diania, the two specimens examined fit well with the description made in Molero et al. (2013) and no remarkable variability has been detected. The body length of the new specimens is 1 mm shorter than that of the holotype, and this fact is congruent with a slightly lower number of pegs on the urotergite X (7 +7), but they have a slightly higher ratio L/W of tibiae (about 5.3 in the studied specimens, against 5 in the holotype) and of paramera (about 5 in the new specimens, while in the holotype this ratio is about 4���4.5). The re-examination of the holotype of this species provides the formula of pegs on the cerci: C1 (1[1 id + 0���1 iv]+2[1 id])+ C2 (1[1 id]+2[1 id +0���1 iv] +3[1 id+ 0���1 iv]+4[1 id]). Formula of short spines on paracercus: P1(1[1d + 1 ld]) +P2(1[1d + 1 ld] +2[0]+ 3[1d]).
