Phallodriloides macmasterae is a species of invertebrate in the Naididae family. It is endemic to Bermuda, where it was discovered in 1986.[2] Three specimens were found in Prospero's Cave, a limestone cave near Castle Harbor in Hamilton Parish, Bermuda.[3] The species was added to the IUCN Red List of critically endangered species in 1996,[1] but due to the uncertainty of actual distribution of this species, it is now listed as data deficient.[1]
