Abstract:

The authors in this article report a significant range and habitat extension for the amphipod Corophium spinicorne Stimpson, 1857, in Idaho, USA. The species has been reported as an inhabitant of coastal estuaries, bays, lagoons, and adjacent river mouths from Alaska to California. Records here add the inland state of Idaho to its distribution and freshwater to its habitat. The species is reported here from 2 sites on the Snake River, extending the range 754 km and 795 km, respectively, upstream from the Pacific Ocean.
