Cave-dwelling catfish and cave-dwelling earthworms both lack pigmentation and their eyes are reduced or absent. The most recent common ancestor to these organisms had normal pigmentation and fully developed eyes. The similarities between cave catfish and cave earthworms are an example of

Analogy

Explanation:

Cave catfish and cave earthworms can be said to have analogous traits, which have over the years developed separately and have different ancestral origins. This new analogous trait is as a result of the need for both organisms in their different environments, which seem similar in condition, to adapt well.

Through convergent evolution analogous structures and traits are usually formed or observed in organisms that do not share the same ancestral origin.
