Niphargellus Glenniei
''Niphargellus glenniei'', also known as the south-western groundwater shrimp, is a species of amphipod from within the family Niphargidae. A native of the United Kingdom, it has been placed onto the UK Biodiversity Action Plan list of priority species. It is the first aquatic troglobite to be given a conservation status within the UK. Description ''Niphargellus glenniei'' lacks pigment and is eyeless, much like other Stygofauna. It will reach sexual maturity at around 2.5-3 mm long. Distribution ''Niphargellus glenniei'' is endemic to England, where it has been recorded in 143 sites within the southwest of the country. It is restricted to the counties of Cornwall and Dorset Dorset ( ; archaically: Dorsetshire , ) is a county in South West England on the English Channel coast.

Niphargidae
Niphargidae is a family of amphipod crustaceans. Its distribution is in western Eurasia, and its members mainly live in subterranean freshwaters habitats.

Genus
Genus ( plural genera ) is a taxonomic rank used in the biological classification of extant taxon, living and fossil organisms as well as Virus classification#ICTV classification, viruses. In the hierarchy of biological classification, genus comes above species and below family (taxonomy), family. In binomial nomenclature, the genus name forms the first part of the binomial species name for each species within the genus. :E.g. ''Panthera leo'' (lion) and ''Panthera onca'' (jaguar) are two species within the genus ''Panthera''. ''Panthera'' is a genus within the family Felidae. The composition of a genus is determined by taxonomy (biology), taxonomists. The standards for genus classification are not strictly codified, so different authorities often produce different classifications for genera. There are some general practices used, however, including the idea that a newly defined genus should fulfill these three criteria to be descriptively useful: # monophyly – all descendants ...

Niphargus
''Niphargus'' is by far the largest genus of its family, the Niphargidae, and the largest of all freshwater amphipod genera. Usually, these animals inhabit caves or groundwater. They occur in western Eurasia, in regions that were not covered by the Pleistocene ice sheets. They are found throughout most of Europe with the notable exception of the Nordics and they are also largely missing from Iberia. The genus extends into Asia as far as the Arabian Peninsula and Iran. In their main range – the central Mediterranean region through Central and Eastern Europe to the Ukraine – they are among the most significant organisms inhabiting the groundwater. In the Dinaric Alps alone there are at least 45 species. There are also six species in the British Isles (the northernmost ''Niphargus''): ''N. aquilex'', ''N. fontanus'', ''N. glenniei'' and ''N. kochianus'' of Great Britain, and ''N. irlandicus'' and ''N. wexfordensis'' of Ireland.

Niphargobates
''Niphargobates'' is a genus of amphipod crustaceans containing two species from European caves. ''Niphargobates lefkodemonaki'' is only known to occur in a cave near Xyloskalo in the Lefka Ori mountains, Crete, Greece. ''Niphargobates orophobata'' is only known to occur in caves near Postojna, Slovenia. Both species are listed as vulnerable on the IUCN Red List The International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) Red List of Threatened Species, also known as the IUCN Red List or Red Data Book, founded in 1964, is the world's most comprehensive inventory of the global conservation status of biol ....
