Notes
: For illustrations and further details on this species, see Shear (2007).
Idagona westcotti
will likely be found in many other lava tubes in central
Idaho
. The species may disperse through the porous lava to colonize tubes. While pale in color and with somewhat reduced numbers of ocelli, populations are not conspicuously adapted for subterranean life.
