Abstract
Bactrurus speleopolis, a large stygobitic amphipod crustacean in the family Crangonyctidae is described from specimens collected from a lake in Cave City Cave, Sharp County, Arkansas, and is the second species of Bactrurus Hay, 1902 recorded to date from the state. This species may also occur in Marble Falls Cave in Marion County, but sexually mature specimens are needed to verify that occurrence. The description of B. speleopolis raises the total number of species in Bactrurus to eight. The genus is widespread in subterranean groundwaters of the east-central United States and is also recorded from a few localities farther east in the southern Appalachians.
