Somatogyrus decipiens Walker, 1909 | |
This species is endemic to Alabama in the United States. Its natural habitat is the Coosa River.[2] Although the IUCN officially categorises the species as Data Deficient, it also considers it as Possibly extinct as it has not been recorded since the river was impounded.[1] This latter classification is also supported by The Nature Conservancy.[2] The common name is based on a river called the Hidden River.[citation needed]
