Environment Type locality, Devil's Hole: a wide sink-hole, about 5 m deep, in a lime-stone slope some 300 m. from the sea. From the hole itself 6. few short, blind passages run inwards; the specimens were caught in a tiny pool of mesohaline brackish water in one of these passages. (A small puddle, about 30 cm. in diameter and 10 to 20 cm. deep,limestone sediment on the bottom, salinity 8.1 g/l . it was not in total darkness. [details]
Environment Lucayan Caverns is the world's longest known underwater cave with more than 10 km of surveyed passages. The main entrance is inland, about 1 km from the sea. A surface lens of fresh water about 14 m in depth is found in rooms and passages throughout the cave. Stygiomysis holthuisi was observed crawling along the rock rubble on the floor of a freshwater passage at a depth of about 4m. [details]
