An environmental DNA (eDNA) detection method confirms the presence of the subterranean amphipod genus PseudocrangonyxAkatsuka & Komai, 1922 in the city of Kyoto, Honshu, Japan for the first time in more than 90 years. Phylogenetic trees using partial sequences of the 16S rRNA gene of eDNA samples from Kyoto and specimens collected from various loca...
