I would love to see Niphargus kochianus! (Having seen glenniei and aquilex). Do you know anyone that does sampling for them?

We have lots of Niphargus kochianus in the chalk of Norfolk and Suffolk :-) - storvaxt.blogspot.com/2014/03/well...

In April 1948, in a cave in Devon, a tiny, blind shrimp was found in a cave - a species that had never been seen before. It was named Niphargus glenniei, the British Cave Shrimp, and in the years since it has never been seen anywhere outside of Devon and Cornwall; a species endemic to Britain.

During the study of the deep layers of pebble beaches of the northern part of the Black Sea, researchers found a new amphipod species of the genus Niphargus.

Discovered in 1669, Pen Park Hole (underneath Filton Golf Course) is a cave system formed by the rise and fall of geothermal water. It measures 61 metres deep and 250 metres wide.
It is home to a rare species of cave shrimp - Niphargus kochianus, which thrives in the total darkness.
