DISTRIBUTION. — Cosmopolitan species of Mediterranean origin (Schmalfuss 2003). In caves, it was previously recorded from Gruta Alto da Cruz cave, Iraquara, and Lapa do Bode cave, Itaetê, both caves in the state of Bahia (Campos-Filho et al. 2014). The present record expands our knowledge on its distribution within the state of Bahia. The presence of this species inside caves is related with available resources and favourable micro-climatic habitat conditions (Fernandes et al. 2016, 2019).
