Treatment

539. Trogloiulus binii Enghoff, 1985 View in CoL

Distribution

IT-ITA (Lombardia).

Habitat

Cavernicolous, found in very muddy places ( Enghoff 1985a).

Remarks

Its mouthparts are modified (reduced biting parts, hypertrophied pectinate lamellae), like those of T. vailatii Strasser, 1978 and some species of Typhoiulus, probably an adaptation to living in very wet places ( Enghoff 1985b).
