Insecta, Coleoptera, Cholevidae, Leptodirinae, Archeoboldoria lanai Giachino e Vailati, 1997 - Troglobite insect, characterized by a saprophage alimentation, like the other representatives of this subfamily. It is completely eyeless (anophthalmy) and depigmented (the brown-reddish color is the natural one of the chitin). The bristles that cover its body are very thin, but particularly dense, like usually in the troglobite species of the Cholevidae family belonging to the Leptodirinae subfamily.

The size is minimum: 2,4-2,7 mm and it is smaller than the species A. doderoana, that lives in the northern part of the Piemonte, from Oropa to Varallo. This species has been discovered by the author in 1994 in a fissure cave recently topographed and called with the local name "Boira or Büra däl Salè", near the baita Vasivresso at about 1450 m above the sea level. The author believed that it was the Maletto Cave (1595 Pi/TO - Maletto, Carema, Torino, lower Aosta Valley) that has been mentioned as locus typicus of the species. The Maletto Cave on the contrary has been obstructed during works of excavation for the constuction of a carriage road and it's situated near the Boira däl Salè and probably it's populated by this species, like all the fissures of the area.
