A troglobite (or, formally, troglobiont) is an animal species, or population of a species, strictly bound to underground habitats, such as caves.These are separate from species that mainly live in above-ground habitats but are also able to live underground (eutroglophiles), and species that are only cave visitors (subtroglophiles and trogloxenes). [1]
Troglofauna usually live in moderate cave regions. [3] The overall climates of these caves do not significantly change throughout the year. Humidity in such caves is generally high ranging from 95 to 100 percent; evaporation rates are low.
Troglobite species are true cave dwellers, occurring exclusively in caves and unable to survive in the open. True troglobites among insects include many Coleoptera, some Stenopelmatidae, Diptera, and Zygentoma. Troglophile species sometimes occur outside the cave habitat but typically complete their life cycle in caves.

Troglomorphism is the morphological adaptation of an animal to living in the constant darkness of caves, characterised by features such as loss of pigment, reduced eyesight or blindness, and frequently with attenuated bodies or appendages.
