Aphidura gallica Nieto Nafría, Mier Durante & G. Remaudière 2013

Apterous viviparous female(Figs 4A, B). Colour in life unknown. Head yellowish brown with rugosity near the eyes. Antennal segments I-IV as pale as cephalic dorsum, and V and VI darker. Dorsal pigmentation and sclerotisation very variable. In several specimens, holotype included prothorax with complete but pale band, metathorax with brown spinopleural transverse band and setiferous marginal sclerites, abdominal segments 1-6 with an extensive dark spinopleural patch, partially fragmented in midline and with an irregular lateral margin partly incorporating the marginal sclerites; abdominal segments 7 and 8 with bands paler than patch. In other specimens, dorsum mainly membranous, with pale brown to brown pleural sclerites on abdominal segments 1-6, which are irregular in shape and sometimes joined between segments, and several very small and pale marginal setiferous sclerites. Other specimens have an intermediate degree of sclerotisation and pigmentation. Mesosternal mammariform processes yellowish, thin and tall. Siphunculi cylindrical, dark, and densely covered with denticulate scales. Cauda triangular (sometimes with a slight constriction) with pointed apex, and not darker than legs. Anal and genital plates as pale as cauda. Metric and meristic features in Table 3. Metric and meristic features of Aphidura gallica sp. n. and Aphidura amphorosiphon sp. n.; n, number of measured specimens.
