Milliped Taxonomy and Distribution 
143 
This subspecies is known so far only from the type locality, to which 
the name alludes. Collections from the region between this cave and the 
type locality of P. scrutorum (northern Scott County, Tennessee) would 
be of considerable interest in providing information on the taxonomic 
status of these two taxa vis-a-vis each other.

localities for several taxa of Pseudotremia: inverted triangle, P. scrutorum 
Shear; dot with star, P.f. ingens, n. subsp.; open circles, P.f. paynei, n. subsp.; 
solid dots, P.f. fracta Chamberlin; circle with dot, P.f. nantahala, n. subsp. 
Eastern and western boundaries of the Ridge and Valley Physiographic Province 
are indicated by the two broken lines.
