Crustacea: A Primitive Mediterranean Group also Occurs in North America.
A new species of the genus Monodella (class Crustacea, order Thermosbaenacea) has been found in a cave pool in Texas. Previously the order was believed to be restricted to the Mediterranean area. The new evidence indicates that the order is older than was believed, or that invasion of fresh or brackish water has occurred more than once within the order.
