Two New Amphipod Crustaceans From Anchihaline Caves in Bermuda1)

Two New Amphipod Crustaceans From Anchihaline Caves in Bermuda1) TWO NEW AMPHIPOD CRUSTACEANS FROM ANCHIHALINE CAVES IN BERMUDA1) BY 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 & Iliffe, 1980). The occurrence of a bogidiellid amphipod was already noted by Sket & Iliffe, I.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 & Iliffe, 1980. Only a single specimen was originally collected and no new material http://www.deepdyve.com/assets/images/DeepDyve-Logo-lg.png Crustaceana Brill
