Pseudanophthalmus macradyi Valentine, 1948

Pseudanophthalmus macradyi Valentine, 1948: 9 (as macradei). Type locality: «Higginbotham’s Cave, McMinnville, Warren Co[unty], Tenn[essee]" (original citation). Holotype (♂) probably in ALM. Etymology. The specific name was proposed for Edward McCrady [1906-1981], American teacher, research scientist, practicing portrait painter, and popular speaker. McCrady also played the violin, composed one symphony, published translations of Greek and Latin classics, explored caves in Tennessee, was president of the University of the South in Sewanee, Tennessee, and was de facto mayor of the city. Note. The spelling macradyi, introduced by Barr (2004: 29), is a justified emendation of macradei in my opinion, and the original name must be corrected (see ICZN 1999: Article 32.5.1).

Distribution.

This species is known only from several caves in Warren and Grundy Counties, Tennessee (Barr 2004: 29).
