Comments: Type locality of the lectotype of Typhleotris madagascariensis: 'dans l'aven dit Mitoho, creusé dans la falaise calcaire du pays Mahafaly (sud-ouest du Madagascar; 1km environ au nord de la limite est de la réserve naturelle du lac Manampetsa)' (Ref. 94243; lectotype by Ref. 94244). Known from underground waters, south of Onilahy River (Ref. 6802). Its geographic range extends from wells near Ambilahilalika, located about midway between Soalara and Efoetse in the north, southward to Nikotsy sinkhole, located just to the north of Itampolo (Ref. 93144). Its presence just north of the Linta River has to be confirmed (Ref. 93144). Also Ref. 13333.

Diagnosis: This species is distinguished from congeners by the presence of scales extending fully onto head; head is more or less fully scaled, including opercle and subopercle, cheek, snout, preorbital and interorbital regions, and nape (Ref. 93144). Typhleotris madagascariensis is further distinguished from T. mararybe by the absence of pigment on the body and fins, a shorter second predorsal length (56.2-64.1% of standard length vs. 64.9-69.0% of standard length), and a more or less rounded head and snout in dorsal and lateral view vs. strongly concave/indented in orbital region; and from T. pauliani by a pelvic count of I,5 (vs. I,4 in T. pauliani) and the absence of spines in both the second dorsal and anal fins (vs. single spine present in both fins) (Ref. 93144).

Blind and pigment-free obligate cave-dwelling species; restricted to subterranean habitats (caves, sinkholes, wells) within the Mahafaly Plateau karst formation, as well as isolated locations with Eocene limestone along the coastal plain below and to the west of the plateau, to the south of the large Onilahy River drainage basin (Ref. 93144). Apparently confined in underground waters (Ref. 6802). Attracted by disturbance of water surface (Ref. 94243). Feeds on crustaceans and insects found in caves (Ref. 91201).
