Yeah, but the science geek in me always wondered why you had to invent a "lightless region of space." Just say the species evolved without sight for some reason. A omnivore that evolved at the bottom of multiple canopy forest might not need sight in the deep gloom, especially if the local "sun" was a dim M-class or a Brown Dwarf. Incredible hearing, and a sensitivity to touch that includes subtle changes in air pressure.
