SUBTERRANEAN AMPHIPOD STYGONECTES 33 which is about equal to pedimcle in length. Uropod 3: peduncleusually armed distolaterally with 1 spinide; ramus about 1/3 lengthof peduncle, armed apically with 2 or 3 spines. Telson about 35 to40 percent longer than broad, apical margin with a shallow excavation,each apical lobe armed with about 5 spines. Type locality.—Silers Cave, Berkeley Co., W. Va. The typelocality is a medium-sized, maze cave developed in Lower Devonianlimestone, which crops out as an isolated band west of North Mountainin the vicinity of Back Creek. The two male specimens were takenfrom a shallow, mud-bottom, seepage-fed pool distant from theentrance. Distribution and ecology.—This species is presently
