Mildice, S. McCollum &amp; J. Krejca . Male paratype from the same locality, collected 13 April 2023 by S. McCollum, P. Druschke and J. Wurtz . Types deposited in United States National Museum of Natural History, Washington, D. C. (USNM).</p><p>Diagnosis.</p><p>Closest to Bollmanella washingtonensis Shear, Richart &amp; Wong, 2020, but differing in details of the gonopods. Bollmanella washingtonensis has simpler, parallel anterior gonopods (Figs 7, 8), while those of Bollmanella amorensis sp. nov. are divergent and elaborated with spines and processes. Posterior gonopod coxites of B. washingtonensis have a single pseudoflagellum equal in length to the main process of the coxite, and a decurved basal hook. Those of B. amorensis (Figs 9, 10) have three long pseudoflagella; the main process is shorter than the pseudoflagella, and there is no basal hook. Legs five through seven bear femoral knobs in male B. washingtonensis, whereas only legs three and four have femoral knobs in B. amorensis . Differing from the sympatric species Idagona lehmanensis in having telopodites on the posterior gonopods.</p><p>Etymology.</p><p>The species name refers to the type locality, Labor of Love Cave.</p><p>Description.</p><p>Male paratype (Fig. 1). No of rings? Length, 11.0 mm, width 1.0 mm. Tan, with brown pigment primarily on head, collum and anterior rings. Twenty to 24 pigmented, poorly developed ommatidia. Moderately developed metatergal shoulders. Metatergal setae long, acute (Figs 1, 2). Legpairs 3–7 enlarged, pairs 3 (Fig. 3) and 4 (Fig. 5) with distal femoral knobs bearing teeth and small gland pores (Figs 4, 6). Anterior gonopods (Figs 7, 8) medially divergent, with distinct shelf about two-thirds their length; shelf with cluster of 6–8 acute spines. Anterior gonopod apex broadly spatulate, with anterior subterminal process. Posterior gonopods (Figs 9, 10) with broad, robust sternum; coxae bearing complex process with anterior flattened branch and three pseudoflagella — all longer than anterior branch. In posterior view, small pore (Fig. 10) at base of coxal process. Telopodites of typical conotylid form, with long prefemora and inflated, ovoid distal podomere. Legpair 10 with enlarged coxae bearing glands. Legpair 11 coxae with hooklike process.</p><p>Female (Fig. 2) similar to males in nonsexual characters. Female genitalia not distinct from congeneric species.</p><p>Notes.</p><p>All other Bollmanella species are found in Oregon and Washington west of the Cascade Mountains and Coast Ranges, and occupy moist, forested biotopes that are very different from the dry woodlands surrounding the type locality cave of B. amorensis sp. nov. (Shear et al. 2020). Nonetheless, despite the ecological differences and about 600 miles (965 km) distance from other species of Bollmanella, gonopod anatomy suggests that we place our new species in that genus. There is precedent for thinking that Bollmanella may have had a once much wider range, in that the related genus Complicatella Shear, Richart &amp; Wong, 2020 – with most of its species in Oregon and Washington – also has a cave-limited species in Nevada: Complicatella neili Shear, Richart &amp; Wong, 2020 . Albeit that species is in the Humboldt Range in Pershing County in the northern part of the state.</p><p>The macrosternodesmid Nevadesmus ophimontis Shear, 2009, is also found in Labor of Love Cave (Table 1). Bollmanella amorensis sp. nov., was observed possibly grazing on the surface of the cave stream (Fig. 1).</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/A6ED1B4491DA5C7BBECB784E7558BB1A	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

Three species.</p><p>Idagona lehmanensis was described from specimens taken in Water Trough Cave. Table 1 provides numerous additional records, as predicted by Shear (2007). The species probably can be found in many caves in the general area. Collectors have found them in caves that are wetter or higher elevation. The species has not been found in Lehman Caves — despite extensive searching for many years, perhaps because of lack of water. Idagona lehmanensis is in most of the Baker Creek caves, which are very close to Baker Creek, and Water Trough Cave, as well as numerous caves over 9000 feet (2743 m) elevation. These caves have small streams running through them.</p><p>The genus Idagona Buckett &amp; Gardner, 1967, was revised by Shear (2007) and consists of three species: I. westcotti Buckett &amp; Gardner, from numerous lava tubes in the Snake River Plain of south central Idaho; Idagona jasperi Shear, 2007, from two high altitude limestone caves in northern Utah; and Idagona lehmanensis, from the localities listed in Table 1. Idagona lehmanensis is the outlier in the distribution, occurring far to the south of the other two species (see Shear 2007: map 1).</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/553A80DD0C075ED4BBC817F020F3D067	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

Three species.</p><p>Notes.</p><p>Nevadesmus ophimontis was described based on specimens from Model Cave, Snake Creek Cave, Lehman Caves, Little Muddy Cave, and Wheeler’s Deep Cave. The records reported here in Table 1 include new collections from those localities. The species appears to be quite abundant, as seen in Fig. 11, and substantial numbers have been collected.</p><p>The genus Nevadesmus presently consists of three species, N. ophimontis (Fig. 11), N. hubbsi (Chamberlin, 1943), and N. superstiona Shear, Pape &amp; Marek, 2025 . The latter species is known from a cave in southern Arizona, distant from the previous two. Nevadesmus hubbsi is known only from Cave Valley Cave in White Pine Co., Nevada, but repeated collecting attempts have failed to turn up any mature males. The proximity of the several localities for N. ophimontis to Cave Valley Cave raises the possibility that the two Nevada species might be synonyms, with N. hubbsi the older name.</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/A030BD5BF74852C286406C6133AFD0A1	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.
