Typhloiulus longipes Strasser, 1973

Typhloiulus (Inversotyphlus) longipes Strasser, 1973 Typhloiulus longipes: Ceuca 1992

Distribution. Bulgaria: cave Belyar near Vratsa (type locality!), cave Zvankova dupka near Chiren ( Vagalinski & Stoev 2007).

Remarks. This species is so far known from only two water caves in Western Stara planina Mts. It was originally placed in the subgenus Inversotyphlus Strasser, 1962 , mainly because of its anteriorly bent promere. By all criteria T. longipes is a very peculiar species, which combines a unique set of both gonopodal and somatic characters, such as reduced but non-uncinate male leg-pair 1, enlarged coxae on male leg-pair 2, a slender and strongly tapering penis, and strongly elongated gonopods with an opisthomere bearing a fine, root-like velum.
