Is there anybody (new) out there? Seven new species of Ligidium (Isopoda, Oniscidea, Ligiidae) from the Southern Appalachians, eastern North America by Ernesto Recuero, Michael S. Caterino

“…Phylogenetic analyses revealed clear genetic distinctions among the new species, but did not resolve all relationships. Furthermore, we propose elevating three subspecies of Ligidium elrodii (Packard, 1873) to full species status based on consistent morphological differences, Ligidium chatoogaensis Schultz, 1970, L. hancockensis Schultz, 1970, and L. scottensis Schultz, 1970, thereby increasing the total number of Ligidium species to 68. …”
