ABSTRACT Bogidiella indica, new species, is described from three water wells in southeastern India, including a bore-well on the campus of Acharya Nagarjuna University in Nagarjunanagar, a water well in Guntur town, and an agricultural well in the Godavari and Krishna Basin, all in the state of Andlrra Pradesh, India. The new species is assigned to the genus Bogidiella Hertzog and to a newly designated species group within the genus. Despite the near circum-global distribution of the family Bogidiellidae, only a single, partially intact specimen of a bogidiellid had been collected from the Indian subcontinent prior to the discovery of specimens from the well in Nagar­ junanagar. Including the new tax.on described in this paper, the family Bogidiellidae contains 35 genera and 106 species. Although B. indica is closely similar to other species presently assigned to the genus Bogidiella, it is easily distinguished by a proportionately shorter and relatively heavily spinose pereopod 5. The sexes are generally similar except that the male bears a large, distally modified apical spine on the inner ramus of uropod 1. The location of the well sites within 45 to 50 km of the eastern coast of India strongly suggests that they lie in an area that was submerged under shallow marine water.within the last 1 million years.

  • Two New Amphipod Crustaceans from Anchihaline Caves in Bermuda1)
    Crustaceans 53 (1) 1987, E. J. Brill, Leiden TWO NEW AMPHIPOD CRUSTACEANS FROM ANCHIHALINE CAVES IN BERMUDA1) JAN H. STOCK Institute of Taxonomic Zoology, University of Amsterdam, P.O. Box 20125, 1000 HC Amsterdam. The Netherlands BORIS SKET Institut za biologijo, Univerza, p.p. 141, 61001 Ljubljana, Yugoslavia and THOMAS M. ILIFFE Bermuda Biological Station, Ferry Reach GE 01, Bermuda INTRODUCTION The two Amphipoda described in this paper are both rare in the anchihaline2) caves of the Walsingham area in Bermuda (see Sket s~ Iliffe, 1980). The occurrence of a bogidiellid amphipod was already noted by Sket s~ Iliffe, 1.c. The species in question was not described, but referred to as "Bogidiella martini Stock n. ssp." Recent sampling in Bermudian caves, during and after the International Symposium on Marine Caves (October 1984), has yielded some fresh specimens which form the basis for the following description. B. martini, from St. Martin in the Lesser Antilles, is indeed its closest relative, but the nature of the differenes is such that we prefer now to give the Bermudian material full specific rank. The presence of an ingolfiellid was briefly mentioned by Sket, 1979, and by Sket s~ Iliffe, 1980. Only a single specimen was originally collected and no new material has been found during subsequent sampling. The presence of an ingolfiellid in Bermudian cave waters is interesting enough to justify the des- cription of the species involved, even though it is based on a single female only. The ingolfiellids are an old group with a curious distribution pattern (Stock, 1977): (1) some species are bathyal or abyssal; (2) many species occur in inland groundwaters of old continental masses (Europe, Africa, South America); (3) many species occur in coastal groundwaters and interstitial waters.

Sampling for both stygobitic and troglobitic fauna has taken place on the island since 1991, and Humphreys (2001) summarised the then current state of knowledge of the island’s subterranean fauna. Sampling for impact assessment purposes on the island over the past decade has substantially increased the recorded species richness of Barrow Island. The number of documented stygal taxa has more than doubled since 2001, from 25 to 63 species now known. Troglobitic diversity has also substantially increased, with six species known in 2001 and 19 troglobitic taxa known today.

E-mail: [email protected] Abstract A new genus and species of Amphipoda is reported from inland ground waters of the Sultanate of Oman. Although Glyptogidiella omanica gen. et sp. nov. exhibits several features typical of the Bogidiellidae (i. e. combined display of distinct carpal lobe on first gnathopod, reduced pleopodal rami, and unsegmented exopodite of third uropod), its exceptionally large fifth coxal plate and short rami of third uropod do not fit in the restricted diagnosis of the family as recently presented elsewhere. In fact, the enlarged coxal plate V is a feature not reported in any other amphipod, whereas no other bogidiellid displays an expanded basis on pereopod VII. The habitus of Glyptogidiella is not typical for a dweller of a true interstitial niche, with its short antennae, large coxal plate and short and stubby rami on the third uropod. This suggests that the interstitial medium could not be the primary habitat for the species, and that the underground of wadis might contain interstices of large size and could also be in contact with karstic hollows.
