Speonebaliella [Speonebaliella]

Description

Speonebaliella is a genus of leptostracan crustaceans in the family Nebaliellidae. This genus is characterized by its small size and adaptation to cave environments. Members of Speonebaliella are distinguished by features such as reduced eyes and elongated bodies, adaptations that are common in cave-dwelling species. These crustaceans are found in marine caves, where they contribute to the biodiversity of these unique ecosystems. Their adaptation to life in darkness and confined spaces is a notable aspect of their biology, making them of interest for studies on evolutionary adaptations to extreme environments.
