"Neaphaenops Jeannel includes one polytypic species, T. tellkampfi, from caves of the Pennyroyal plateau and adjacent upland in west-central Kentucky. Four subspecies are described and illustrated: tellkampfi tellkampfi (Erichson), t. viator, new subspecies, t. henroti Jeannel, and t. meridionalis Barr. A key to subspecies and a distribution map are given. It is suggested that Neaphaenops shares a close common ancestry with Pseudanophthalmus of the pubescens species group, and P. princeps, new species (Kentucky and Tennessee) may possibly represent an intermediate evolutionary stage. Taxonomic changes are proposed for Pseudanophthalmus ciliaris orlindae Barr, new combination, and P. loganensis Barr, new status"--P. [1].
