Biology:Asellidae
From HandWiki
The Asellidae are a family of isopod crustaceans,[1] one of the largest families of freshwater isopods, living in both epigean (surface water) and hypogean (subterranean) habitats in North America, Europe,[2] Asia and North Africa. Members of the family have adapted to underground habitats at least 34 times over the course of their evolution.[3]
