Adult and juvenile specimens of Stygobromus allegheniensis from Ice Cave #1 at Sam’s Point Preserve. Gravid females have been found in this cave, indicating that they are reproducing in this environment. The species is fully depigmented, eyeless, with long appendages, typical of cave-adapted organisms. During the warm months they can be found in the pools and small streams in the tectonic caves of the Shawangunk Ridge.
