Abstract

The first record of the palpigrade Eukoenenia gasparoi Condé 1988 in Croatia is reported. We review the distribution of this troglobiotic species endemic to the classical European Karst region, give an illustrated description of the adult stages and the juvenile female, and evaluate divergence among the populations. Morphological differences reflect individual-level rather than population-level variation.
