Abstract

We surveyed four spring sites of the Edwards Aquifer to determine current distribution and abundance of spring and cave-adapted invertebrates, including three that are federally listed as endangered. We found 18 species from 12 families of endangered and stygobiontic fauna, similar to other surveys completed 10 years prior, and recorded new localities for Tethysbaena texana, Cirolanides texensis, Lirceolus hardeni, Lirceolus smithii, Stygobromus longipes, Stygobromus flagellatus, and Artesia subterranea. We also report discovery of new species of Bogidiellidae (near Parabogidiella), Ingolfiella, and Almuerzothyas.
