Rhagidia weyerensis (Packard) is known only from its type locality, Grand Caverns, Augusta County, Virginia. Rhagidia cavernarum (Packard) is known from several caves in south-central Kentucky and central Tennessee. Both species appear to be obligatory cavernicoles. Rhagidia cavicola Banks is shawn to be a junior synonym of R. cavernarum. ER -
