任何专性地下物种和地下环境之间的联系取决于物种自身的生理特征和相邻地上栖息地的所有生态特征，包括生物因素的相互作用，这一点已经得到强调。为什么穴居动物不能被列入洞穴居民分类标准的原因已经被证明。在审查了历史分类之后，提出了最广泛使用的术语的标准化定义。最容易识别的是四个类别，它们是经典Schiner-Racovitza术语的术语近似：（1）troglobiont是一个物种或种群，严格限制在地下栖息地：（2）eutroglophile基本上是一个epigean物种，但能够维持一个永久的地下种群;（3）亚嗜热菌倾向于永久或暂时栖息在地下栖息地，但由于某些生物功能而被束缚在地表。（4）trogloxene是一种仅在地下零星出现的物种。
That the ties between any obligate subterranean species and the hypogean environment depend on the interplay of a species' own physiological characteristics and all of the ecological characteristics of the adjacent epigean habitat(s), including biotic factors, has been emphasized. The reasons why troglomorphy cannot be included within criteria for classifying cave dwellers have been demonstrated. After a review of historic classifications, standardized definitions of the most widely used terms are proposed. The most easily recognized are four categories which are terminological approximations of the classic Schiner-Racovitza terminology: (1) troglobiont is a species or population, strictly bound to a hypogean habitat; (2) eutroglophile is an essentially epigean species, but able to maintain a permanent subterranean population; (3) subtroglophile is inclined perpetually or temporarily to inhabit a subterranean habitat but is bound to the surface for some biological functions (e.g. feeding); (4) trogloxene is a species only occurring sporadically underground.
