FAMILY GENUS / SPECIES HABITAT LOCALITY PHYLUM CLASS ORDER/ COMMON NAME 2 2 2 Cape Range Anchialine groundwater. The phallodriline worms were found in two sites within the Bundera Limestone: an artificial well and small karst window. Aktedrilus parvithecatus Pectinodrilus ningaloo Naididae (formerly known as Tubificidae) ANNELIDA Clitellata Haplotaxida (earthworms and aquaworms) Bundera Sinkhole Spionidae Prionospio thalanji The genus Prionospio is dominated by marine species, with a few estuarine representatives; none are known from truly freshwater or anchialine habitats. Thus, Prionospio thalanji is apparently a sister taxon to a marine species, although it not known which one. P. thalanji is apparently the first spionid polychaete recorded from cave environments. Spionids are rare in freshwater environments, although two species of Boccardia are known from coastal dune freshwater lakes in southeastern Australia and Orthoprionospio cirriformia is widespread in areas of reduced salinity in south-eastern Australia. Polychaetae (annelid worm) Cape Range S. centroamericana ‑ Bundera Sinkhole as well as from small shallow karst windows—Tantabiddi Rockholes, Wobiri Rockhole, C-414 and C-506. Specimens were also obtained from Javis Well C-362, a deep pastoral well. T. (Ehlersia) cf. broomensis –in the deep well, Javis Well. In contrast to the other polychaete, Prionospio thalanji, both species were characterized as ‘normal’ marine forms, so are also Aciculata Syllidae Sphaerosyllis centroamericana Typosyllis (Ehlersia) cf. broomensis opportunistically stygal. Bundera Sinkhole Iravadiidae Iravadia sp. The brackish part of Bundera Sinkhole, where it is exposed to full sunlight. This species belongs to a genus that is otherwise estuarine. Mollusca Gastropoda (snails, slugs) ** Congeneric with marine troglobites of the Atlantic # The stygofauna of Cape Range Peninsula includes the sympatric occurrence of a number of taxa with disjunct Tethyan distributions Genera in bold are endemic to the area, as are all the species with the exception of some of the copepod species
