Gammarus pecos, commonly known as the Pecos amphipod,[2] is a species of crustacean in family Gammaridae. It is endemic to Pecos County, Texas in the United States, where it is known from only two locations: Diamond Y Spring (sometimes known as Wilbank Spring) and Leon Creek.[1] Gammarus pecos is classified as a vulnerable species by the IUCN Red List.[1] A portion of the spring and cienega habitat inhabited by this species is now protected as part of the Diamond Y Spring Preserve, a nature reserve, owned by the Nature Conservancy.[3]
