Pseudocandona caribbeana Broodbakker 1983d

Pseudocandona caribbeana — Broodbakker 1983d: 303–304, fig. 6A–D, G, K–N, P–R, U–V.

Synonym: Typhlocypris (Typhlocypris) caribbeana ( Broodbakker 1983d) Karanovic 2005 .

Type locality: three holes dug in sand and gravel at the water line of the 1 m wide brook Brays River, bridge 25 of road A 3, Jamaica (18º15’13” N, 76º48’06” W) . Holotype (1♀)— ZMA, Ost.150.802 , Paratype (1♀) and some valves— ZMA, Ost.150.803 .

In Venezuela: at the following locality according to Broodbakker (1983d): FALCÓN State —S 1982/531, hole dug on the banks of the Acurigua River, town of Acurigua , Sierra de San Luis (11°18’54” N, 69°28’48” W) .

Remarks: geographical distribution includes only Jamaica and Venezuela. Only females of this species have been found ( Broodbakker 1983d). Karanovic (2005) proposes the combination Typhlocypris (Typhlocypris) caribbeana . However, the genus Typhlocypris has been redefined based on morphological characters ( Namiotko et al. 2014), which validates the original assignment of Broodbakker (1983d). P. caribbeana is cited in Galán & Herrera’s (2006) review of the cave fauna of Venezuela.
