Longiflagrum amphibium is an estuarine species of crustacean in the order Tanaidacea. It is known only from the type locality, which is the intertidal zone at Port Hedland, Northwestern Australia. [1]
Description
Longiflagrum amphibium can be distinguished from the other four species of the genus Longiflagrum by having the shortest flagellum in the antennule and by its oval pleopod basis. [1] The specific name amphibium is from the Latin for "amphibious". The name reflects the species' presence in the intertidal zone. [1]
Ecology
All five Longiflagrum species occur in shallow coastal habitats such as the intertidal zone, eelgrass beds and estuaries where the salinity fluctuates over the range 5–34 psu, [2] [3] and they are a frequent and abundant element of the soft-bottom ecosystem. [1] [2]
