Material examined.
SÃO PAULO: Ribeirão Grande (Atlantic Rainforest), Limestone: Caverna Felício, (UFSCAR) 1 spec, 15.v.2015, Bolfarini, MP.; SANTA CATARINA: Florianópolis ( “Restinga” - Atlantic Forest and coastal vegetation), Granite: Gruta Pedras Grandes, (UFSCAR) 3 spec, 01.v.2016, Bichuette, ME., Gallão, JE., Lee, D., Xavier, P .
Distribution.
This species is widely distributed throughout southern South America. In Brazil, C. galatheae is present in all southern states and in São Paulo ( Bücherl 1940, 1942). The new records corroborate this distribution and suggest a preference for temperate regions. The species was recorded in one limestone cave and one granitic cave of São Paulo and Santa Catarina, respectively. It is a candidate troglophilic species, but more data are necessary to confirm this categorization.
Habitat.
Cave (unconsolidated substrate).
