Psyche 
[September-December 
Alabama, found in the stomach of a plethodontid salamander Eurycea 
Iucifuga, captured 8.ix.i965, S. Peck leg. 
Diagnosis. Most similar to C. jonesi but differing from it and 
all other species in the shape of the aedeagus, the very widely ex- 
panded male tarsal segments, and the distinct setal bearing excavation 
on the inner and upper margin of the hind tibia. 
Description. Measurements of the Holotype. HW, .70. PW, 
1.25. EL, 1.78. EW, 1.30. Color uniform dark reddish brown, 
shining. Shape rectangular, rounded at front and back. 
Head with no traces of eyes; vertex finely punctulate; frons 
coarsely punctate. Antennae with hairs on all segments; segments 
IX, X, XI also supplied with dense cover of short hairs at their 
apical margins; segment I stout; II shorter than III, III slightly 
conical; IV, VI larger than broad, shorter than V; VII larger than 
wide, larger than VIII, smaller than IX; IX longer than wide; X 
as long as wide; XI conical at tip. 
Pronotum widest at middle; sides evenly arcuate; narrower at 
front than back ; hind angles slightly obtuse ; front angles rounded ; 
front margin slightly concave; hind margin slightly concave; disc 
finely puntulate, coarsely set with punctures. 
Elytra fused ; at base slightly wider than base of pronotum ; widest 
near middle; surface finely punctulate, with larger punctures indi- 
cating 5 distinct and a sixth indistinct stria. Protibia widened at 
apex, protarsi conspicuously expanded and setose. Mesotibia widened 
at apex, mesotarsi conspicuously expanded and setose. Metatibia with 
setae bearing excavation in posterior third of dorsal and inner sur- 
face. Metatarsi not expanded. Fifth abdominal segment evenly 
rounded. 
Aedeagus in lateral view (fig. 10) wide, without ventral projec- 
tion, expanded in posterior half. In ventral view (fig. 11) wide and 
slightly expanded toward posterior. Parameres gradually tapering, 
terminating close to aedeagal apex, basal pieces thin. 
Notes on holotype. The tip and left side of the aedeagus were 
damaged in dissection. The illustrations are reconstructed except for 
the dorsal tip whose full size and shape are not known. 
Etymology. The name refers to the state of Alabama. 
Distribution and habitat notes. The species is probably a deep 
soil inhabitant, limited to northeastern Alabama. The type locality 
is a small cave under the sandstone cap of Chapman Mountain. A 
seep spring in the cave gives the cave its name. I have visited the 
cave many times since 1965 in unsuccessful attempts at obtaining 
more specimens by searching by hand under rocks and litter and by
