Troglocaris anophthalmus

Troglocaris anophthalmus is a species of freshwater shrimp in the family Atyidae.

It lives in karstic caves in Bosnia and Herzegovina, Croatia, Italy and Slovenia.

[3] Like other underground-living animals, this shrimp lacks pigment (appearing whitish) and eyes.

[4] It was originally described by Vincenz Kollar as Palaemon anophtalmus (a misspelling of "anophthalmus"), but this name was considered to be a nomen nudum for a long time.

This name is, however, accompanied by a description, and predates Dormitzer's junior synonym Troglocaris schmidtii.
