Pseudanophthalmus horni (Garman, 1892)

Anophthalmus horni Garman, 1892: 241. Type locality: "within the corporate limits of Lexington [Fayette County, Kentucky]" (original citation), restricted to "Reid (= Picadome) Cave, at Picadome School" by Barr (2004: 22). Syntype(s) location unknown (probably in USNM). Note. Barber (1928: 196) stated that Garman sent six specimens of this species, labeled "Lexington, Ky. 10.9.92," to the USNM. These specimens are probably syntypes.

Pseudanophthalmus horni garmani Jeannel, 1949b: 49. Type locality: «Reid’s cave, à 2 km W[est] de Lexington, Fayette County, Kentucky" (original citation). Holotype in MHNP. Synonymy established by Krekeler (1973: 41). Etymology. The subspecific name was proposed for Harrison Garman [1856-1944], professor at the University of Illinois, later at the University of Kentucky, and state entomologist at the Kentucky Agricultural Experiment Station. Garman was an outstanding entomologist but not a specialist on any groups or subjects.

Pseudanophthalmus horni minor Jeannel, 1949b: 49. Type locality: «Phelp’s cave, à 5 miles S[outh]-W[est] de Lexington, Fayette County, Kentucky" (original citation). Holotype probably in MHNP. Synonymy established by Krekeler (1973: 42).
