| Summary: | This troglobitic milliped is of unusual interest because it is the
type of a new genus and the first Mexican record of the family Trichopetalidae,
which previously has been known from Nova Scotia to
Louisiana, Oklahoma, and Colorado. If the genus has undergone
speciation as related genera have, then additional species and subspecies
will be found in other Mexican caves. Other millipeds from
Mexican caves have been described by R. V. Chamberlin (1942). |
