Bathysciola destefanii (Ragusa, 1881) was originally described as Adelops destefanii on the basis of four females collected by Enrico Ragusa in Navurra, near Altavilla (Palermo Province). Only a sketch of the habitus and left antenna were reported in the original description; later on R. Jeannel in his “Revision des Bathysciinae” gave a short description of the species and provided the drawing of the internal sac of the aedeagus; in the “Monographie des Bathysciinae”, the same Author reported the drawing of the apex of the paramer. In this paper Bathysciola destefanii is redescribed based on the four typical specimens and new specimens collected in other localities in Western Sicily. Pictures of the diagnostic features are provided and the lectotype and paralectotypes are designated.

In both species, hsc70 mRNA level was constant with increasing temperature, whereas a significant increase in the inducible member (hsp70) mRNA was observed, higher in N. pasai. This difference could be due to their in-cave distribution: N. pasai colonizes the cave entrance where the temperature is more variable than the internal part where N. mancinii is confined. These results demonstrated for the first time the occurrence of a heat shock response in troglobite insects and suggest the correlation between the intensity of this response and the adaptation to the cave environment.10acold stenothermal10aheat shock proteins10aneobathyscia mancinii10aneobathyscia pasai10athermal stress1 aBernabò, P.1 aLATELLA, L1 aJousson, O.1 aLencioni, V uhttps://cholevidae.myspecies.info/en/content/cold-stenothermal-cave-dwelling-beetles-do-have-hsp70-heat-shock-response
