Appearance
It has the general appearance common to most American representatives of the genus Ligidium and can most notably be confused with Ligidium elrodii elrodii, but it is described as having 16 flagellar articles vs. 13-14 for L.e.elrodii. For a more conclusive ID the pleopods of a male specimen should be checked under a microscope.Habitat
Ligidium blueridgensis shares a preference for the same types of habitats (rotting wood in very moist locations, usually near streams or bogs) with the wide spread Ligidium elrodii elrodii.References:
