Correction.
Kornicker & Iliffe (1998: 62)
in a "Material" paragraph incorrectly referred Sta 93-039 to Maya Blue Cenote. It should have been Temple of Doom Cenote, as it was listed in the "Appendix" (
Kornicker & Iliffe 1998: 90
).
Supplementary description of adult female.
Carapace size

Remarks.
Kornicker & Iliffe (1998:90)
reported the species to be in the Temple of Doom Cenote in
July 1993
. The present collection shows that the species continued to inhabit the cenote in
July 2000
, showing that it was not affected by climatic events occurring during intervening years.
