Endangered and Threatened Wildlife and Plants; Designation of Critical Habitat for Nine Bexar County, Texas, Invertebrates

Résumé

We, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (Service), propose to revise critical habitat designation for the Rhadine exilis (ground beetle, no common name); Rhadine infernalis (ground beetle, no common name); Helotes mold beetle (Batrisodes venyivi); Cokendolpher Cave harvestman (Texella cokendolpheri); Robber Baron Cave meshweaver (Cicurina baronia); Madla Cave meshweaver (Cicurina madla); and Braken Bat Cave meshweaver (Cicurina venii) under the Endangered Species Act of 1973, as amended (Act). We also propose to designate critical habitat for the Government Canyon Bat Cave meshweaver (Cicurina vespera) and Government Canyon Bat Cave spider (Neoleptoneta microps). These species are collectively known as the nine Bexar County invertebrates. In total, we are proposing approximately 6,906 acres (ac) (2,795 hectares (ha)) as critical habitat for these invertebrates. The proposed critical habitat is located in Bexar County, Texas.
