was listed under the Endangered Species Act in 1988 (U. S. Fish and Wildlife, 2010) due to its extremely limited distribution in a rapidly urbanizing area outside of Austin, Texas. Recent work has been directed at refining the distribution of the species in order to set recovery goals and several additional localities were discovered during the course of this study (Fig. 56). Of special interest are caves near the type locality which share identical mitochondrial and nuclear DNA haplotypes (Tooth Cave, Root Cave, Gallifer Cave and Tight Pit) suggesting that individuals move between sites.
