Typhlatya

Typhlatya is a genus of shrimp in the family Atyidae. These are small, stygobitic shrimp found in the West Mediterranean region (France and Spain), Caribbean region (the Antilles, Bahamas and Yucatán), Ascension Island and the Galápagos, although the individual species often have very small ranges.[2][3] Species in this genus are found in salt, brackish and fresh waters,[3] mostly in anchialine habitats and none in the open sea.[2]

Taxonomy, species and conservation

There are currently 17 recognized species, of which one is listed by the IUCN as critically endangered (marked "CR" below), and six are considered vulnerable (marked "VU").[4] Phylogenetic studies indicate that the genus as presently defined is paraphyletic and needs to be redefined, as T. galapagensis clusters with the widespread Antecaridina and T. monae likely with the Australian Stygiocaris. On a higher level, these three genera, together with Halocaridina and Halocaridinides, form a group.[2] In addition to the species below, "Typhlatya" jusbaschjani (Georgia) and "Typhlatya" pretneri (Hercegovina) have been listed in this genus, but the former is a species inquirenda and recent authorities generally include the latter in Troglocaris.[5][6]

gollark: It's shorter.
gollark: Maybe use easier to understand names like YAvZzH9XHOe4Ald40QxzRhjt2SVucaCe.
gollark: So! Instead of numbers, each SCM should be named something like afa35eb6b2b6c135726e5aca53f98b6df650dc4fc89d4d785e1a597785ccb944334a0435b7ddd841e7fcbd785882031902ca677a94474d69fa7af785507b69ae.
gollark: , right?
gollark: Wait, part of the SCM Foundation's mission is to make things as extremely annoying as possible at all times/
