Title: Endangered and Threatened Wildlife and Plants; Critical Habitat Designation for Nine Bexar County, TX, Invertebrates 
Abstract: We proposed to revise existing critical habitat designation for seven Bexar County, TX, invertebrates: 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 ESA. We also propose to designate critical habitat for the Government Canyon Bat Cave meshweaver (Cicurina vespera) and Government Canyon Bat Cave spider (Neoleptoneta microps). 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.
