Chaetocorophium
''Chaetocorophium'' is a monotypic genus of amphipods in the family Corophiidae, containing only the species ''Chaetocorophium lucasi''. ''Chaetocorophium'' is very closely related to ''Paracorophium'', and some researchers propose synonymising the two genera. ''C. lucasi'' is endemic to New Zealand, where it is found only in a few sites in the North Island ( Lake Rotorua, Lake Waikare, Lake Rotoiti, at Whakatane, Raglan, Waitara, and Wanganui) and in lakes and intertidal mudflats across South Island. It is epigean, and was listed as "Sparse" in the 2002 New Zealand Threat Classification System list for freshwater invertebrate Invertebrates are a paraphyletic group of animals that neither possess nor develop a vertebral column (commonly known as a ''backbone'' or ''spine''), derived from the notochord. This is a grouping including all animals apart from the chordate ...s. References Corophiidea Freshwater crustaceans of New Zealand Monotypic crustacean genera< ...

Corophium Volutator
''Corophium volutator'' is a species of amphipod crustacean in the family Corophiidae. It is found in mudflats of the northern Atlantic Ocean The Atlantic Ocean is the second-largest of the world's five oceans, with an area of about . It covers approximately 20% of Earth's surface and about 29% of its water surface area. It is known to separate the " Old World" of Africa, Europe .... It is native to the north-east Atlantic Ocean, and has been introduced to the north-west Atlantic. Description ''Corophium volutator'' is a slender animal, up to long, "whitish with brown markings". The head bear two pairs of antennae, the first of which are small and point forwards, while the distinctive second pair are much longer and thicker. Life cycle There are 1–2 generations per year, and the females brood the eggs inside their brood pouch or ''marsupium''. They can occur in huge quantities: up to 60,000 per square metre have been observed. References {{Taxonbar, from=Q146070 ...
