- Its major discharge points, Comal and San Marcos Springs, both host endemic species found nowhere else: Comal's include the Comal Springs riffle beetle, the amphipod Stygobromus pecki, and the eyed, surface-dwelling Comal Springs salamander (Eurycea sp.), while the San Marcos pool holds the blind, groundwater-dwelling salamanders Typhlomolge (Eurycea) rathbuni and T. robusta, adapted to the lightless conduit habitat
This sourceLongley's survey of the Edwards Aquifer fauna — 'at least 35 to 40 species of troglobites, many endemic' — which places the blind salamanders Typhlomolge rathbuni and T. robusta in the San Marcos pool and records the amphipod Stygobromus pecki among Comal's stygobites; the Comal Springs riffle beetle and the eyed Comal Springs salamander post-date this 1981 paper and come from Sharp and Banner's 1997 account.
