Pseudanophthalmus alabamae Valentine 
Valentine 1932:273. Barr 1965:67. 
This distinctive species is known from eight caves in Little Wills Valley, 
Dekalb County, Alabama, all on the east side of the Wills anticline: 
Bartlett (AL 251, T9S/ R7E/ S13); Cherokee (AL 806, T6S/R9E/S26); 
Kelly Girls (AL 252, T9S/R7E/S13); Lykes (AL 239, T9S/R8E/S13); 
Manitou (type locality, - AL 13), in Fort Payne: Talley (AL 443, 
T5S/R10E/S32); Stanley-Carden (AL 730, T6S/ R9E/S13); and Section 
26 (AL 804, T4S/ RlOE/ S26). I have examined 54 specimens including 16 
topotypes; the length of this series is 4.0-4.8, mean 4.4 ± SD 0.4 mm. In 
P. alabamae the humeri are less sharply angular and the tip of the 
deflexed aedeagal apex is falciform rather than knobbed as in the only 
other known species of the group, described below. Aedeagi of four 
topotypes measured 0.57-0.63, mean 0.60 mm long. Some individuals 
have 1 or 2 long setae on each side of the pronotum disc.
