Distribution

Caves from São Desidério and São Domingosı states of Bahia and Goiásı respectively.

Remarks

New record. The specimens examined show eyes with reduced number of ommatidia and absence of body pigments. Such characteristics can be related with endogean lifestyle ( Campos-Filho et al. 2014) and not troglomorphisms. Further surveys outside caves will elucidate its correct subterranean classification.
