Amplaria eldora (Chamberlin) (troglophile) 
Records: Calaveras Co.: Grapevine Gulch Cave. El Dorado Co.: Crystal Cosumnes Cave (type locality). 
Comment: The only cave adaptation in this species is the slight depigmentation of the ocelli. Three females were taken in 
total darkness in Crystal Cosumnes Cave. This species was described from females from that cave. A male from Grapevine 
Gulch Cave is only tentatively assigned to this species.

Amplaria muiri Shear and Krejca (troglophile) 
Records: Tulare Co.: Bear Den Cave; Carmoe Crevice Cave; Crystal Sequoia Cave (“Crystal Cave” type locality); Hurri¬ 
cane Crawl Cave; Lange Cave; ?Lilbum; Pet Cemetery Cave; ?Wiessraum Cave. 
Comment: Although some specimens were somewhat depigmented, this species does not appear to be troglobitic. The 
records for Lilbum and Wiessraum Caves are based on females and are only tentatively assigned to this species.

Amplaria shastae (Causey) (troglobite) 
Records: Shasta Co.: Ancient Palace Cave; Samwel Cave (type locality). 
Comment: Although this species has pigmented eyes, it is nearly white, has elongated legs and antennae and a large body. 
These probably are indications of cave adaptation. Fossils of this species were found in a Pleistocene stratum in the cave 
with several extinct ma mm als. Although Causey thought that the two fossil Julus species described by Grinnell (1908) may 
not be the same as this species, Grinnell’s material needs to be restudied as indicated by Graham (1960b).

ORDER POLYDESMIDA 
Undetermined 
Records: Calaveras Co.: Moaning Cave. Mendocino Co.: caves. Napa Co.: caves. Santa Cruz Co.: caves. Siskiyou Co.: 
Four Star Cave. 
Bibliography: Causey (1960a); Taylor and Krejca (2006). 
Undetermined Polydesmida sp. no. 1 (troglobite) 
Records: Inyo Co.: Titus Canyon Cave. 
Bibliography: Graening (2012, 2014). 
Undetermined Polydesmida sp. no. 2 (troglobite) 
Records: Trinity Co.: Paul Gibson Cave. 
Bibliography: Graening (2012, 2014). 
Comment: This is provisionally listed as a separate species from Polydesmida sp. no. 1 as it is 725 km from Titus Canyon 
Cave, Inyo County, and it is unlikely that one troglobitic species could range so far in fragmented limestone outcrops of dif¬ 
ferent types.
