Abstract

ADULT ORGANISMS OF PSEUDOEURYCEA MIXTECA WERE FOUND IN A CAVE OF ABOUT 80 METERS DEEP AT A XEROPHILE VEGETATION IN THE TEHUACAN VALLEY, PUEBLA. THE SPECIMENS WERE LOCATED UNDER STONES IN HUMID SAND. PREVIOUS REPORTS OF THIS SPECIES WERE FROM PINE-OAK FOREST IN NORTHWESTERN OAXACA, LIVING UNDER THE BARK OF LOGS OR INSIDE ROTTEN LOGS. THIS NEW RECORD INCREASES THE KNOWN DISTRIBUTION OF THE SPECIES AND HABITAT TYPE
