Length 2.5 mm. Testaceous. Similar in body proportions to P. 
henroti but with shorter, thicker antennae, the club somewhat flat- 
tened. Segments V and VI are thickened, VI less than twice as long 
as wide; VII very large, as in whiteselli; VIII short and very trans- 
verse, half as wide as long; IX and X subquadrate; XI two-sevenths 
longer than X, attenuate in apical one-fifth. Known only from the 
unique female type, which I have seen. Troglobite. Sympatric with 
P. henroti. 
Ptomaphagus (A delops) henroti Jeannel 
Jeannel 1949: 102; type: Aladdin Cave, Madison Co., Alabama (in Museum 
National d’Histoire Naturelle, Paris). 
The smallest and most slender of our troglobitic A delops. Known 
from the type locality and nearby Scott Cave, Madison County, and 
from Horseshoe and Blowing Caves, Fannin Cove, in nearby Jackson 
County, Alabama. Jeannel (1949) described P. //. ellipticus as a 
distinct race from Shelta Cave, Huntsville, Madison County, but 
only two specimens are known. I have seen only nominate henroti. 
Ptomaphagus (Adelops) hubrichti Barr 
Barr 1958: 170; type: Cripps Mill Cave, DeKalb Co., Tennessee (in Ameri- 
can Museum of Natural History, New York). 
Common in caves of southern DeKalb County, at the eastern edge 
of the Central Basin in Tennessee, and more recently collected in 
Hayes Cave, near Statesville, in eastern Wilson County, Tennessee. 
Distinguished from henroti by the more robust body form, the dilated 
7th and 8th antennal segments, and the blunter posterior pronotal 
angles. Troglobite. 
PtoTnaphagus (Adelops) valentinei Jeannel 
Jeannel 1933: 252; type: Sauta Cave, near Lim Rock, Jackson Co., Alabama 
(in Museum National d’Histoire Naturelle, Paris). Jeannel 1936: 93; 
1949: 103. 
A small, slender, troglobitic species with the 3rd antennal segment 
longer than the 2nd, the transverse strigation of the pronotal disc 
rather superficial and irregular. Known from the type locality, in 
Jackson County; from Cathedral Caverns and Guffey Cave, Marshall 
County; and from Twin Caves, near Brownsboro, Pitts Sinkhole, at 
the head of Big Cove, and Cave Spring Cave, near Berkeley, all in 
Madison County, Alabama. Jeannel (1949) described P. v. jonesi 
from Pitts Sinkhole and P. v. longicornis from Cave Spring Cave. I 
have not seen enough Madison County material to comment on the 
validity of these subspecies. P. v. longicornis is known from a single 
male. The few specimens from Twin Caves are doubtfully assignable 
to P. v. jonesi.
