Troglophilus neglectus (Krauss, 1879)

From the CR, it was first reported as T. cavicola (Holuša et al. 1999) on the basis of misidentification, and it has been considered to be introduced (Kočárek et al. 1999). In Moravia, it has been found only in several caves in the environs of Hlubočky (Holuša et al. 1999). In Bohemia, it inhabits caves, cellars, bunkers, etc. in the area of České Švýcarsko NP (Chládek et al. 2000). It is wingless, and only parthenogenetic females are known from the CR (Koèárek et al. 2005).

Cave-crickets of the genus Troglophilus are distributed mostly in karst areas of South Europe. T. neglectus is a European species reported from Germany, southern Austria, northern Italy, from the countries of former Yugoslavia (described from Istria), and from Greece (Karaman et al. 2011).
