s. ''Niphargus'' are extremely variable in their appearance (more so than even some amphipod families), but are whitish and completely lack eyes. They are fairly small, ranging from about in length in the smallest species to about in the largest. At least some of the species are highly resistant to starvation and able to survive for more than 200 days without food.
