Abstract


A new species of Lepismatidae of the genus Neoasterolepisma, N. pallida n. sp., is described from the Murcia, Alicante, Valencia and Albacete provinces in Spain. The main differences between the new species and the most closely related ones are pointed out. The main morphological feature of this new species is the modification of the chaetotaxy of the last article of the lapial palp, and the absence of modifications in the third tibia of the males, whereas the modification of this leg article in males is normal in the species of Neoasterolepisma of the Iberian Peninsula except for N. curtiseta.
