Comment: The species was taken from mine props throughout the type locality, an old placer mine in a mafic volcanic rock 
area. This species has a reduced number of ocelli and is depigmented. Causey (1961) thought it to be a troglobite that infil¬ 
trated the mine from surrounding cavernous limestone. Geologic maps show no limestone within 100 km of the mine, and 
all 43 occurrences of this species are in lava. Shear (1971) reported a population with some morphological differences from 
a lava cave far to the north. Shear (1972) stated that “.. .no other conotylid is as strongly modified for cave life.” Nelson 
and Smith (1976) collected this millipede from a Neotoma cinerea nest in a cave in Lava Beds National Monument, and 
Taylor and Krejca (2006) collected it from numerous caves at Lava Beds. The species range is 190 km north-south and at 
least 8-10 km east-west, the largest range for a troglobite in California.

Records: Tulare Co.: Clough Cave; Hidden Cave (type locality); Overhang Cave; ?Windy Pit. 
Comment: This species is more darkly pigmented and has more ocelli than A. muiri. The record for Windy Pit is likely this 
species but no males were collected.
