549. Typhloiulus ausugi Manfredi, 1953

Distribution

IT-ITA (Veneto, Venezia Tridentina, Friuli-Venezia Giulia).

Habitat

Cavernicolous. There are indications that it prefers very wet caves. Its mouthparts are modified like those of Trogloiulus binii (q.v.), Typhloiulus edentulus and T. serbani, probably an adaptation to living in very wet places (Enghoff 1985b).

Remarks

Strasser (1971) described two subspecies of T. ausugi .
