Appendix l. Annotated systematic listing of new records of species of cave collected Staphylinidae of the United States. This summarizes: the relative frequency with which the species has been found in cave habitats (as accidental, infrequent troglophile, or frequent troglophile), its general total distribution, a summary of microhabitat preferences, previous new cave records. The higher taxonomic categories sequence follow Newton et al. (2000), records are listed alphabetically by state (using US Postal Service abbreviations), county, cave names.
