Abstract

"The troglobitic thysanuran described from Ezell's cave in Texas as Nicoletia texensis by Ulrich in 1902 is redescribed in detail and a new genus, Texoreddellia, is erected for it. This thysanuran is now known to occur in a large number of caves in central Texas and the adjacent Edwards Plateau. Populations from different caves vary in some cases in quantitative characters, mainly the degree of elongation of the body and appendages"--P. [1].
