Ligia perkinsi

About Ligia perkinsi

Ligia perkinsi is an isopod crustacean in the family Ligiidae. Its current scientific name is cited as Ligia perkinsi (Dollfus, 1900). Published sources characterize its origin status as endemic Hawaiian. Published Kauaʻi evidence documents the species from Kauaʻi. The cited evidence includes records dated or referenced to 1996. Evidence types include distribution table. These records establish a documented Kauaʻi occurrence but are not automatically interpreted as a present-day abundance estimate. The documented Kauaʻi habitat context includes terrestrial. For current-status context, historical Kauaʻi occurrence; current population status not reassessed. The available Kauaʻi evidence does not support adding island-specific claims about diet, reproduction, behavior, population size, or trend unless those points are stated in the cited sources, so they are not inferred here. Keeping the accepted taxonomic concept together with the dated occurrence evidence allows later surveys to distinguish historical documentation from contemporary status.
