Distribution. This species is widely distributed throughout southern South America. In Brazil, C. galatheae is present in all southern states and in Sao Paulo (Buecherl 1940, 1942). The new records corroborate this distribution and suggest a preference for temperate regions. The species was recorded in one limestone cave and one granitic cave of Sao Paulo and Santa Catarina, respectively. It is a candidate troglophilic species, but more data are necessary to confirm this categorization.
