Causeyella

Troglobitic; restricted to cave environments in the southern Ozarks. Laboratory observations confirm cave-dwelling behavior for at least two species.

Southern Ozarks region of the United States; confirmed present in Arkansas and Missouri.

Laboratory-observed behaviors documented for two species, though specific behaviors not detailed in available sources.

• Other TrichopetalidaeShare family-level characteristics but differ in troglobitic specialization and geographic restriction to Ozark caves
• Other ChordeumatidaSame order but Causeyella distinguished by troglobitic habitat and southern Ozark endemism
