Cavernotettix is a genus of cave crickets in the family Rhaphidophoridae, in South-Eastern Australia and Tasmania. There are five species in the genus Cavernotettix.[1][2] The genus was first described by New Zealand entomologist Aola Richards in 1966.[3]
Cavernotettix species are mostly found in cool dark damp spaces such as limestone caves, wombat burrows and walls of old sheds.[1][4] They usually appear in cave entrances at twilight,[5] and are sensitive to temperature changes and require a high degree of humidity to survive.[6]
