Remarks:
This species is highly troglophilous, and it could represent a strict troglobiont organism, because it has never been collected outside cave systems (
Garcia, 2020
). However, it does not show any typically troglobious morphological traits other than slight eye and pigment reductions (
Christiansen, 2012
).
