Ceuthophilus conicaudus

Ceuthophilus conicaudus is also a trogloxene. It is less cave-adapted than C. longipes, which is why it looks fatter, but still is lightly colored.

Ceuthophilus carlsbadensis
 

Ceuthophilus carlsbadensis is also a trogloxene, which is why it doesn't have the pale coloration and slender appendages. But the interesting thing about these crickets is that they are named after Carlsbad Caverns where they were first discovered.
