1 NEW AMPHIPOD TAXA IN AMPHIPOD NEWSLETTER 21 Wim Vader As usual, this index is divided into two parts, a first one with the alphabetical listing of the new taxa, and a second one with the taxonomic ordering. Both are meant to be used together with the annotated bibliography in AN 21. New families and subfamilies in AN 21 This is a difficult task, as there is little agreement as to what constitutes a valid family in the order Amphipoda, and e.g. Bousfield and collaborators revive many families that have recently been merged by e.g. Barnard & Karaman. These have not been included here, as many of these familiy names, as e.g. Calliopiidae and Pontogenendae, are still in regular use anyway, and the situation in the melitoid-hadziid group is quite unclear to me.
