[2][3] The genus and type species, Troglodiplura lowryi, were first described by Barbara York Main in 1969.

[2] The genus is considered one of the worlds most troglomorphic spiders with every species known lacking eyes and having elongated appendages.

[2] Troglodiplura differs from other genera in the Anamidae family by having an almost round carapace, by having no eyes, and by the male's having a longer palpal tarsus.

[2] T. lowryi is listed as "Vulnerable" under the Western Australian Biodiversity Conservation Act 2016.

Additionally, some Nullarbor caves are experiencing major threats from human activities, with speleological features being damaged; animals and their homes being trampled and altered hydrological regimes due to changes in surface vegetation communities, and groundwater pollution.
