Abstract
The first results of new investigations into Italaphaenops dimaioi Ghidini are given. This species, endemic to Monti Lessini near Verona, has been recently collected in new and different caves. Some live specimens of Italaphaenops dimaioi from the Abisso del Vajo dei Modi 3650 V/VR have been maintained in the Laboratorio di Biologia Sotterranea di Verona, where the author made observations on its breeding patterns, biological cycle and sexual behaviour.
