Based on its morphological characteristics and molecular analysis, the new taxon undoubtedly belongs to the well-established subfamily Plusiocampinae and occupies, like most species of the subfamily, cave habitats. Anatoliacampa diclensis has two important features: its unique pretarsus and the abundant distribution of urosternal macrosetae. The finding of this new taxon is of high palaeogeographic interest, as it provides new evidence for establishing Anatolia as a land bridge for the colonization of the Euro-Mediterranean lands by cave-adapted Plusiocampinae and their few soil-dwelling relatives.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessIntegrative TaxonomyPhylogenyCave -Dwelling FaunaPalaeogeographyArticle301205214WOS:0009043720000022-s2.0-8514195885310.1016/j.jcz.2022.10.006N/AQ2
