Scientists have discovered 850 new species of invertebrates living in underground water, caves and micro-caverns across arid and semi-arid Australia. This is Phreatomerus latipes, from Coward Springs, South Australia. Previously thought to be a single species, the group had been split into eight different species that evolved in geographically isolated springs in South Australia.
