DISTRIBUTION: OCALA FAUNA (Upper Suwannee). Groundwater 

 habitats in limestone areas of the (northern) Withlacoochee River, 

 upper Suwannee River, lower Santa Fe River, and the Newberry Karst 

 Plain (western Alachua and northeast Levy counties), Florida. The 

 species may eventually be discovered in karst areas along the Withlacoochee 

 River in southern Georgia because the M2 Cave site in Madison County 

 (Florida) lies 9 km (6 mi) south of the Florida-Georgia border.
