The 6 species of troglobitic cirolanid isopods known in the western hemisphere are distributed in Cuba (1 species), Mexico (4 species) and Texas (1 species). All are believed to be descendants of marine ancestors from the Gulf of Mexico (Bolivar y Pieltain, 1950). The discovery of a cirolanid from a cave in the Appalachian Yalley of Virginia adds a seventh species, noteworthy not only because it represents a new genus, but also because of the considerable distance by which it is separated from the other species. In addition to a description of the new species, I give below a redescription of Cirolanides texensis, the only other troglobitic cirolanid known from the United States. Rioja (1953) correctly pointed out the need for a reexamination of Cirolanides; this reexamination was necessary to determine whether the species from Virginia and C. texensis are generically distinct. I am grateful to Dr. Thomas C. Barr, University of Kentucky, for making the specimens available to me, and to Mr. John R. Holsinger of the same institution for information about the type locality.
