Wheeler’s Deep Cave is one of four interconnected caves making up the Baker Creek Cave System,
Nevada’s longest cave (length 1315 meters [4315 feet]). It is located at an elevation of 2147 meters (7044
feet) in a limestone outcrop adjacent to the riparian zone of Baker Creek. Cyptobunus ungulatus ungulatus
and N. ophimontis are fairly common in the deeper, wetter parts of this cave, where a perennial stream is
present.
Etymology: The species name refers to the Snake Mountain Range, and to Snake Valley, major
geographical features associated with the collection localities.
