Anillinus choestoea
Anillinus choestoea is a small, eyeless ground beetle in the family Carabidae, described by Thomas C. Barr in 1962. It belongs to a genus of anilline beetles characterized by reduced eyes or complete anophthalmia, elongated bodies, and subterranean habits. The species is known from cave and deep soil habitats in the Appalachian region of the eastern United States. Like other members of Anillinus, it exhibits morphological adaptations for life in darkness, including depigmentation and elongated appendages.
