ANNOTATED LIST 

 OF OTHER CAVE-ASSOCIATED SPECIES 



Phylum ANNILIDA 



Class OLIGOCHAETA 



Family Branchiobdellidae 



Cambarincola leoni Holt (commensal on troglobites). Alachua 

 County: on Troglocambarus maclanei from Squirrel Chimney; on 

 Procambarus lucifugus alachua from Goat Sink. Leon County: 

 on Procambarus orcinus from Gopher Sink. Marion County: on 

 Procambarus lucifugus X alachua from Indian Cave. REMARKS: 

 Holt (19736) lists questionable records of this species on crayfishes 

 from Squirrel Chimney (Alachua County), The Bat Hole (=Roberts 

 Cave) (Gilchrist County), and Sim's Sink (Suwannee County). 



Cambarincola manni Holt (accidental?). Seminole County: 

 on Procambarus acherontis from Palm Spring (Holt 19736). REMARKS: 

 This annelid also has been retrieved from epigean crayfishes {Pro- 

 cambarus alleni, P. fallax, P. paeninsulanus) (Holt 1973a). Its 

 presence on Procambarus acherontis may have been fortuitous 

 because the specimens were acquired from crayfishes found in 

 the spring pool at Palm Springs rather than from the adjacent 

 cave environment. Infestations may have originated with surface 

 crayfishes coinhabiting the spring pool. 



Other Branchiobdellid Annelids. Unidentifiable branchiobdellid 

 materials were collected on Procambarus erythrops (listed as Pro- 

 cambarus lucifugus) from Sim's Sink (Suwannee County), on Procam- 

 barus horsti from Big Blue Spring (Jefferson County), and on 

 Cambarus cryptodytes from Gerard's Cave (Jackson County) and 

 Climax Cave (Decatur County, GA) (Holt 19736). 



Other Annelids. Aeolosomatid oligochaetes were reported as 

 part of the benthos from the cave tunnel and from the shallower 

 regions of Vortex Blue Spring in Holmes County (Helfman 1986). 

 Other caves with populations of aquatic annelids include: Columbia 

 County: Rose Creek Swallet and Overflow (TM), Blue Sink (TM). 

 Hamilton County: Shallow Spring (TM), Rossiter Spring (TM). 

 Madison County: Thunderhole (TM). Suwannee County: Alligator 

 Rescue Spring (TM), Bonnett Spring (TM), Charles Spring (TM), 

 Irvine Slough Spring (TM), Peacock Springs (TM, Streever 19926), 

 Lineater Spring (TM), Telford Spring (TM), Water Hole Cave 

 (TM).
