Chaetocorophium

Chaetocorophium is a monotypic[1] genus of amphipods in the family Corophiidae, containing only the species Chaetocorophium lucasi. Chaetocorophium is very closely related to Paracorophium, and some researchers propose synonymising the two genera.[2]
C. lucasi is endemic to New Zealand, where it is found only in a few sites in the North Island (Lake Rotorua, Lake Waikare, Lake Rotoiti, at Whakatāne, Raglan, Waitara, and Whanganui) and in lakes and intertidal mudflats across South Island. It is epigean,[1] and was listed as "Sparse" in the 2002 New Zealand Threat Classification System list for freshwater invertebrates.[3]
