Systematics, Speciation, and Distribution of the Subterranean Amphipod Genus Styognectes (Gammaridae)

Abstract: Greaser (1934), Mackin (1935), and Shoemaker (1938, 1942a, 1942b, 1945) 1893; Stebbing, 1906;Banta, 1907;Weckel, 1907;Holmes, 1909, Stout, 1911, but none of these added any further data to those given initially by Smith. Only one other stygonectid was described before the tm-n of the century, this being Crangonyx flagellatus (Benedict, 1896) Both Spandl (1926) and Chappuis (1927) Mackin (1935) added further to this confusion by describing another new stygonectid amphipod from Oklahoma and assigning i… Show more

“…The most significant discovery is that despite the aforementioned constraints, they are inhabited by an obligate cave-adapted aquatic amphipod (Westlake 2009). Specimens of these crustaceans were identified by John R. Holsinger, a taxonomic specialist of amphipods, as Stygobromus allegheniensis Holsinger, 1967, the Allegheny Cave Amphipod. This taxonomic identification has been corroborated by having identical histone sequences (GenBank# KP696361-KP696363) to specimens from Clarksville Cave, NY (Cahill et al 2015), where S. allegheniensis has also been reported.…”

Abstract
Stygobromus allegheniensis Holsinger, 1967 (Allegheny Cave Amphipod) is a troglobiotic crustacean commonly found in caves of the Northeast United States. We describe several new populations from the unique tectonic Ice Caves found in the Shawangunk Ridge in New York, USA.

“…Despite its wide range, no significant morphological variation among populations has been found (Holsinger 1967), and DNA sequencing of Ice Caves and Clarksville Cave specimens supports that these distant populations belong to a single species . The Ice Caves are found along the Shawangunk Ridge, at Sam's Point within the Minnewaska State Park, New York, USA.…”

“…This species is located within caves found in Maryland, Pennsylvania, and New York, covering a distance of approximately 596 km from North to South, making it one of the largest ranges of any troglobiont in this genus (Holsinger 1967). Despite its wide range, no significant morphological variation among populations has been found (Holsinger 1967), and DNA sequencing of Ice Caves and Clarksville Cave specimens supports that these distant populations belong to a single species .…”
