Bactrurus cellulanus Koenemann and Holsinger, 2001
Solitary amphipod (proposed)
Taxonomy & Nomenclature
Conservation Status
Extinct
Last record: 1963 (8 January or later in the year)
Distribution
Monroe County, Indiana, USA
Biology & Ecology
Hypodigm
Holotype: USNM 296422 (male)
Type locality: "In seep under basement of Jordan Hall, University Of Indiana, Bloomington, Monroe County, Indiana, USA"
Allotype: USNM 310859 (female)
Paratype: apparently a male has been designated as a paratype (Koenemann & Holsinger, 2001), but I cannot find an accession number.
Additional specimens: (Koenemann & Holsinger, 2001) states that a further specimen was also collected (December 1962 or January 1963). Four specimens collected in total on three separate occasions altogether according to (Taylor & Niemiller, 2016).
(search "Bactrurus cellulans" at http://collections.nmnh.si.edu/search/iz/ for full account of collection of the holotype and allotype)
