Stygobromus
Stygobromus is a genus of amphipod crustaceans that live in subterranean habitats. The majority of the listed species are endemic to North America (one from Canada, the rest from the United States), 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); 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.…
