Description
A low entrance to a shallow cave ending in blockage yielded the male holotype (note 1) and female paratype (note 2) of Heteropoda fischeri JÄGER (2005). SITUATION 1 (Jarratt 2001.02.18 Mss): Follow path from top entrance to Krem –>Labit towards the Sutnga I.B., over a hill. The low cave entrance can be seen on the right. SITUATION 2 (Alan Jeffreys 2001.02.23 Mss): Follow Shaktiman track to west of IB to obvious karst outcrop on the right. Climb path on right hand side of spur housing Krem –>Labit near the Sutnga I.B., for short distance into a -ram- (jungle cleared for cultivation). The entrance is a low letterbox on the left, right beside the path. CAVE DESCRIPTION (Jeffreys 2001.02.23 Mss): The letterbox shaped entrance leads to low chambers some 8 m long. At far end a climb down leads to lower chambers roofed by a huge piece of breakdown (the floor of the upper chamber). On the right two small fissure passages coalesce and end in an earth / stone choke. Most of the cave's floor i covered with dry gravel and earth with boulders. CAVE LIFE: C.W. Fischer collected on 25.02.2001 spiders (Arachnida: Aranea) of both small (one specimen of Pholcidae?) and of monumental size (Fischer, C W collected on 25.02.2001 two samples of Sparassidae: Heteropoda fischeri JÄGER 2005) in addition to a scorpion (one specimen of Arachnida: Scorpiones). covered with dry gravel and earth with boulders.
