). Given that nowadays members of the clade are all strictly bound to phreatic and epiphreatic parts of the caves, such distribution implies that the clade dispersed in ancient times, when ancestors of the clades were less strictly bound to caves and could spread either through epigean waters, e.g., Miocene lakes (Krstić

If this hypothesis is true, present species composition of the clade and their distribution would be a result of fragmentation of populations and vicariant speciation that followed break up of connections between populations. If specialization for the cave environment occurred at the same period, it possibly accelerated the process of population fragmentation.
