Family Iuridae Thorell, 1876

Protoiurus kadleci (Kovařík et al., 2010) : TUR- KEY. Habitat: inside and at cave entrance. Troglomorphies: pigmentation and sclerotization slightly reduced; pedipalps and legs slightly attenuate. Previous assessments: presence deep in cave, where it has been found hiding in a rock crevice might indicate its lithophilic and/or troglophilic nature; somewhat slender habitus, especially metasoma, suggests some degree of cave adaptation, however, holotype and paratypes were not found in caves (Kovařík et al., 2010); found in cave as well as outside, and exhibits no troglomorphic features (Yağmur et al., 2015a). Current assessment: epigean, hypogean: trogloxene (subtroglophile). Citations: Kovařík et al. (2010); Yağmur et al. (2015a, 2015b).

Protoiurus kumlutasi Yağmur et al., 2015 : TURKEY. Habitat: inside and at entrances of cave. Previous assessments: collected deep inside cave and also at cave entrance; shows no troglomorphic characteristics and resembles other epigean species of the genus (Yağmur et al., 2015a, 2015b). Current assessment: epigean, hypogean: trogloxene (subtroglophile). Citations: Yağmur et al. (2015a, 2015b).
