Determined by Frans Janssens who said: “A pale specimen. Christiansen & Bellinger (1998:921) consider specimens from Texas and New Mexico as belonging to a species cluster: “More detailed study will be required to determine if two species are involved.” Note in the bottom right corner a great illustration of the typical furca in Hypogastruridae: broad manubrium and short dentes.”
