Herbert Daniel Gebauer - 06/01/2018

A small cave (note 1), which consists of a tube that runs after unknown length into what appears to be an impenetrable collapse. SITUATION: At a linear distance of about 45 km approximately south-west of Jalalabad (N34°25'49”: E070°27'10”), and in a ravine below a village called Ebrahimkhel (note 2), which lies at an unspecified distance (about 18 km) in an unrecognised direction (approximately ESE) from Khogay (note 3). The cave entrance lies at a distance of about 3 km in an unspecified direction from Grotte –>Taghah China and in a steep escarpment strewn with huge and densely packed granite and limestone boulders. CAVE LIFE: LINDBERG (1958: 134) collected (from the entrance) Isopoda, Pseudoscorpion, Arachnida (Opilionida). JUBERTHIE & DECU (2001: 1745) list Arachnida: Pseudoscorpiones: Neobisiidae: Microcreagris herculea BEIER, and (rather from Grotte –>Taghah China) Insecta: Orthoptera: Gryllidae: Eremogryllodes major CHOPARD.A small cave (note 1), which consists of a tube that runs after unknown length into what appears to be an impenetrable collapse.
