Darlingtonea kentuckensis Valentine, 1952: 22. Type locality: «Richardson’s Cave, 2.5 miles east of Somerset, Pulaski County, K[entuck]y" (original citation). Holotype (♂) probably in ALM.
Darlingtonea kentuckensis lexingtoni Valentine, 1952: 24. Type locality: "Big Saltpeter Cave, 8 miles north of Livingston, Rockcastle County, K[entuck]y" (original citation). Holotype (♂) probably in ALM. New synonymy. Note. This synonymy is based on the following unpublished comment (dated March 1969) by Thomas Barr: "specimens [of Darlingtonea kentuckensis ] from the southwestern part of the range are darker and more robust than those from the northeastern part of the range. The variation is probably clinal, however; there are no distinct separations that would warrant the naming of geographical races."
Distribution.
This species is known from several caves in Kentucky located as far north as Estill County and as far south as Fentress County [see Marsh 1969: Fig. 5].
