Abstract
Species of the family Cydnidae (known as the “burrower bugs”) live usually on or in the ground; sometimes they even burrow deep into the soil (e.g., Froeschner 1960; Schaefer 2003; Linnavuori 1993; Lis 1994, Lis et al. 2000). However, data on burrower bugs associated with caves and their environment are very rare; only ten species of three Cydnidae subfamilies were hitherto recorded from this type of habitat (see the checklist at the end of this paper).
