Cueva del Subterráneo is the most studied of the three Micos caves in the Micos or Río Subterráneo Area, located 15 km west of Ciudad Valles, San Luis Potosí, in the small Sierra de San Dieguito, just west of Sierra la Colmena.
The map was published in 2018: http://www.mexicancaves.org/maps/3772.pdf It was published in AMCS Bulletin 26, which you can still buy at the AMCS website. Elliott, William R. 2018. The *Astyanax* Caves of Mexico. Cavefishes of Tamaulipas, San Luis Potosí, and Guerrero. Association for Mexican Cave Studies, Bulletin 26. Austin, Texas. 326 pp. Or you can download the large pdf at my website at https://cavelife.info/pdf/pdf.htm >From my book: "Cueva del Río Subterráneo is about 500 m long, the largest cave in the Micos Area. The lost cave survey of 1971 was found in 2017... The cave is the original site of the “Micosfish” of Wilkens and Burns 1972, an evolving population with reduced eyes and pigment, which hybridizes with surface fishes in two of the three inhabited pools." Micos apparently is a different stock of fish from the main El Abra Region, as determined by genomic studies. *William R.
