1 APPENDIX D-11 INVERTEBRATES. There are numerous species of invertebrate fauna present on the BRSR. No comprehensive inventory has been done to identify even the most common species. As new data is derived, this appendix will be updated to reflect species known to exist on the Reservation. The most current data regarding common species of invertebrates is reflected in BRSR Resource Guides 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, and 21. To identify the groups of invertebrates present on the Reservation, this list shows the family, order or class as well as individual species that have been specifically identified. Other species in the family, order or class shown on the list will be added from time-to-time as the opportunity for revision occurs. COMMON INSECTS. TERRESTRIAL INVERTEBRATES.
