MATERIAL EXAMINED. — Site 7: 2 specimens , site 34: 17 specimens , site 52: 1 specimen . Material deposited at UCBLZ , No. 2014-3 TABLE 2. — Presence-absence data for stygobiont species across the six river catchments.Names in bold indicate species new to Science.Grey and white columns correspond to hyporheic and spring sites respectively. Four additional taxa have been collected: Trichodrilus sp. , Proasellus sp. , Niphargus sp. , and Bathynella sp. These were not counted in the species number because they correspond to unidentifiable specimens (immature or damaged).
