Stygobromus Elliotti
''Stygobromus'' is a genus of amphipod crustaceans that live in subterranean habitats. As well as a large number of species in North America, a smaller number of species are also known from Eurasia. Most of the North American species live in areas which were not covered by the Laurentide Ice Sheet, although a few species seem to have survived under the ice. A number of species are on the IUCN Red List as endangered species (EN) or vulnerable species (VU); all the listed species are endemic to the United States. One species, '' S. lucifugus'', is extinct. ''Stygobromus'' includes the following species: *''Stygobromus abditus'' Holsinger, 1978 ( Virginia) *''Stygobromus ackerlyi'' Holsinger, 1978 ( Georgia) *''Stygobromus alabamensis'' (Stout, 1911) *''Stygobromus albapinus'' Taylor & Holsinger, 2011 ( Nevada) *''Stygobromus allegheniensis'' (Holsinger, 1967) (New York to West Virginia) *''Stygobromus ambulans'' (F. Müller, 1846) *''Stygobromus anastasiae'' Sidorov, Holsing ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Stygobromus Kenki
''Stygobromus kenki'' is a rare species of amphipod, a crustacean. Its common names include Kenk's amphipod, Rock Creek groundwater amphipod, and Rock Creek stygobromid. This species lives only in Washington, D.C., the Calvert Formation in Virginia and Montgomery County, Maryland, in the United States. It can be found only in the Potomac River watershed. Its entire range is less than 40 square miles. It has only been found at five sites at springs or seeps in the local waterways.USFWSKenk's amphipod (''Stygobromus kenki'') Spotlight Species Action Plan./ref> This species is small, the largest female measuring about 5.5 mm in length and the largest male about 3.7 mm. It can only be identified by microscopic examination, which requires that the specimen be killed; therefore, scientists prefer not to attempt identification of these rare amphipods. The species lives in and near water in freshwater habitat. It can be found in detritus and sediment along springs and see ...

World Register Of Marine Species
The World Register of Marine Species (WoRMS) is a taxonomic database that aims to provide an authoritative and comprehensive list of names of marine organisms. Content The content of the registry is edited and maintained by scientific specialists on each group of organism. These taxonomists control the quality of the information, which is gathered from the primary scientific literature as well as from some external regional and taxon-specific databases. WoRMS maintains valid names of all marine organisms, but also provides information on synonyms and invalid names. It is an ongoing task to maintain the registry, since new species are constantly being discovered and described by scientists; in addition, the nomenclature and taxonomy of existing species is often corrected or changed as new research is constantly being published. Subsets of WoRMS content are made available, and can have separate badging and their own home/launch pages, as "subregisters", such as the ''World List ...
