Images of Prietella phreatophila (Mexican blindcat).

Abstract from a presentation on Prietella at the 1996 ASIH meeting.

Animalwatch, a childrens magazine, did a little story about this species that might be of interest to kids.

We have been distributing a "wanted poster" around this and other areas where we think Prietella may be found, in hopes of finding more localities. Stay tuned.
