about 4, p about 6 (lost). Leg III, tarsus 0, metatarsus v about 10 
(some lost), d about 5, p 6, r 4, tibia v about 10 (some lost), d 3, p 6, r 
about 4, patella p 2 (lost), r about 3, femur rd 4, p 9, r at least 4. Leg 
IV, tarsus v with long bristles, metatarsus v about 13, d about 5, p 
about 8, r 4, tibia v about 7, d about 4, p about 7, r 6, patella p about 
3, r ?, femur d 4 or 5, p about 9, r about 5. Trichobothria generally 
lost, appear to have been less numerous than in most Australian 
diplurines. Tarsal claws all with double row of long and needle-like 
teeth (up to 9 or more in each row); inner rows of teeth begin distally 
to base of outer rows. 
Remarks 
The tarsal “spines” referred to by Main (1969) are not comparable 
to the usual heavy spines found on diplurine legs and as for the 
above specimen would be better described as “bristles”.

We are grateful to A. D. Davey who collected the male specimen 
of Troglodip/ura. Support from the Australian Biological Resources 
Study programme to one of us (BYM) is acknowledged. 
Summary 
A male specimen of the cavernicolous genus Troglodip/ura is 
described. It is suggested that a tibial spur, previously considered 
unique to the Anamini has arisen independently in Trog/odiplura. 
Close affinity with other Australian Diplurinae is not recognized.
