status

 

Subgenus Caverneleodes Triplehorn, 1975

Form elongate and slender. The eyes are reduced, the antennae extremely long and slender with terminal 4–5 antennomeres extending beyond the pronotal base. The legs are long and slender. The female genitalia are similar to those in the subgenus Metablapylis Blaisdell , to which it is presumably related. Triplehorn and

Reddell (1991) provide a key to the five known species in the subgenus, two of which are found in Texas.
