Distribution. Known only from the type locality: Croatia: cave Petričevi on the island of Cres.

Remarks. T. insularis was described on the basis of females alone. To prove its validity, Strasser (1938) accurately compared the new species to all previously described species of Typhloiulus . More recently, Makarov & Rađa (2006) (in Makarov et al. 2006) described T. gellianae from the Croatian island of Ugljan, some 70 km SE of Cres. Although occurring on neighbouring islands, the two species can readily be separated morphologically from each other. T. insularis is much smaller (l = 12–13.5 mm vs. 21–26 mm in T. gellianae ) and paler (pigmentless vs. yellowish in T. gellianae ), and with a rounded subanal scale (vs. subquadrangular in T. gellianae ).
