Distribution
This species is recorded from Gruna do Mandiaçu caveı Carinhanhaı Caverna Domingão caveı and Caverna Chico Pernambuco caveı all in the state of Bahia ( Campos-Filho et al. 2014 ı 2019).
Remarks
Troglobitic and amphibious species ( Campos-Filho et al. 2014 ı 2018a). As mentioned by Campos-Filho et al. (2019) ı specimens of X. aganju from Caverna Domingão and Chico Pernambuco caves are morphologically very similar with specimens from Gruna do Mandiaçu cave (type-locality)ı with few differences on male pleopod 2 endopod (see figure 14 in Campos-Filho et al. 2014 ı and figure 7 in Campos-Filho et al. in press). It isı thereforeı possible that each population represent a lineage undergoing evolutionary differentiation. Future molecular studies are needed to confirm if these populations belong to the same or distinct taxonomic entities.
