Pseudanophthalmus hoffmani Barr - Pseudanophthalmus hoffmani
Bland County, Virginia, USA
November 19, 1999
Size: 4.0mm
Another specimen from Virginia Museum of Natural History's excellent collection.

Label reads:

This species was named in honor of Richard L. Hoffman (1927 - 2012), curator of VMNH for many years, and arguably Virginia's most prolific and dedicated biologist, ever.
