Appalachian Pseudanophthalmus 
91 
apical groove, occasional 1-3 long setae on each side of the pronotal disc, 
and slender, nonconstricted aedeagal apex suggest a more remote rela- 
tionship to the Grassy Cove and Pine Mountain species of the jonesi 
group (P. jonesi, P. scutilus, P. rogersae). The known range of P. geor- 
giae includes three Georgia caves: Blowing Spring Cave, the type local- 
ity; Pettijohn Cave, 8 km southwest of Lafayette and 2.3 km northwest 
Bronco and a similar distance south-southeast of Atwood Point on 
Pigeon Mountain ( an east spur of Lookout Mountain) (Estelle IVi 
Quadrangle); and Mt. Cove Farm Cave, 2.5 km east of Lookout near the 
head of McLemore Cove, 0.9 km north-northwest of Dougherty Gap 
(Dougherty Gap IVi Quadrangle). The latter two caves are in Walker 
County. 
Other Appalachian Valley Species Groups 
Although northern Appalachian Pseudanophthalmus species will be 
treated in detail in a subsequent paper, availability of much fresh material 
has substantially altered my views on the relationships between the 
approximately 35 known species in the region. Five rather well defined 
species groups exist, and the distributions of four of them are in accord 
with an Allegheny refugium hypothesis. With respect to my earlier paper 
(Barr 1965) on Appalachian valley Pseudanophthalmus, the following 
classificatory changes are now indicated. Subspecies citations have been 
omitted, but some of the Greenbrier valley species of the grandis group 
are polytypic. 
grandis group 
grandis Valentine 1931:254 (WV) 
fuscus Valentine 1931:254 (WV) 
sylvaticus Barr 1967b: 167 (WV) 
montanus Barr 1965:52 (WV) 
krekeleri Barr 1965:52 (WV) 
hypertrichosis Valentine 1932:266 (WV) 
virginicus (Barr 1960:66 (NEW COMBINATION for Aphanotrechus 
virginicus Barr) 
Collection of a male of P. virginicus by J. R. Holsinger and R. M. 
Norton made possible the determination that virginicus is only an aber- 
rant species of iht grandis group near P. hypertrichosis. It is known only 
from Hugh Young Cave, in the Maiden Spring area, Tazewell County, 
Virginia. 
hubbardi group 
Same as hubbardi group of Valentine (1945) and Jeannel (1949); equiv- 
alent to hubbardi subgroup of Barr (1965).
