Bulletin de l'Institut Royal des Sciences Naturelles de Belgique - Bulletin van het Koninklijk Belgisch Instituut voor Natuurwetenschappen, 70:149-161.
Haptolana y1111ca n. sp. is the 6th described species of an entirely
hypogean-adapted genus. Cirolana (A11opsila11a) yucatana n. sp. is
the 9i1i described stygobitic and troglomorphic species in this
subgenus. Both were discovered by diving in deep waters of
cenotes in the Yucatan peninsula, a region from which five
stygobitic cirolanid species were known. Jamaicalana
BOTOSANEANU & ILifFE, 1997, is synonymized with Cirolana
(A11opsila11a).
