, all of them presenting more or less the same morphological features. The unique specimen available from the Brazilian cave presents noticeable differences in chaetotaxy and palpal morphology, but also in trichobothriotaxy, morphology of coxa IV and tarsus IV, but we ignore their variability within this species and this caveinhabiting population. More specimens are therefore needed to adequately delimit the Brazilian species morphologically and settle its taxonomic status.
