A man-made, dug-out well (sort of a -water mine- excavated from unspecified host rock: laterite?) is the home of a blind, endogean catfish population (note 1) that represents one of the five stygobiotic fish species currently known from India (note 2). SITUATION: At an unspecified location somewhere (SUBHASH BABU & NAYER 2004) in the vicinity of Parappukara (N10°24'08”: E76°14'56” accessed 2008.06.19), a village shown on AMS sheet NC43-07 Coimbatore (U502 series, 1959 edition) at a linear distance of about 15 km in a direct line approximately SSE from Trichur (Trissur; also: Thrissur N10°31': E76°13'), headquarters of a district of the same name. CAVE LIFE: According to FERRARIS (2007: 152, 538), SUBHASH BABU & NAYER (2004 : 296, fig. 1) give a taxonomical description of Horaglanis alikunhii (Subhash Babu & Nayer 2004), holotype (ZSI Calicut. Regn. V/F 13137) that had been collected from a well (excavated from unspecified host rocks) somewhere (without aequate position) in the vicinity of Parappukara in Kerala, South India (South-West India, on the Malabar coast).A man-made, dug-out well (sort of a -water mine- excavated from unspecified host rock: laterite?) is the home of a blind, endogean catfish population (note 1) that represents one of the five stygobiotic fish species currently known from India (note 2).
