[1] This genus was first described by Wilson R. Lourenço in 2007 based on specimens collected from the Tham Xe Bangfai cave in Khammouane Province, Laos.

[2] The genus Troglokhammouanus was established to classify the species T. steineri, distinguished by specific morphological characteristics that set it apart from other genera within the Pseudochactidae family.

[2] Troglokhammouanus steineri is endemic to Laos, specifically found in the Tham Xe Bangfai cave system in Khammouane Province.

This species inhabits subterranean environments, adapting to the ecological conditions of limestone karst caves.

[2] Members of this genus exhibit morphological adaptations consistent with cave-dwelling scorpions, including reduced pigmentation and elongated appendages.
