In June 2018 Alexey Dudashvili organised an expedition, the main purpose of which was speleo biological research in the caves of Kyrgyzstan. We were 7 cavers attending that expedition, 4 of us were biologists : 2 specialists for aquatic fauna, one for bats and I for terrestrial fauna.
I will present the results of my search in 10 caves. Of course, a lot of species have not yet been identified. However, about 80 different species have been collected.
