CLADISTIC ANALYSIS OF 37 MEDITERRANEAN BOGIDIELLIDAE (AMPHIPODA), INCLUDING BOGIDIELLA ARISTA, NEW SPECIES, FROM TURKEY

Abstract

and During the spring of 1987 a major biospe- leological expedition of the Dutch speleo- logical society "Speleo Nederland" was car- ried out along the coastal Taurus mountains in southwest Anatolia, Turkey. The expedi- tion was focused on collecting the fauna of caves, wells, subterranean water flows, and the interstices of marine gravel beaches. The special yield of subterranean (or stygobiont) crustaceans, predominantly amphipods of the genus Bogidiella Hertzog, 1933, promised to serve as an interesting case study to the col- onization of inland ground water by marine organisms. In July 1996, a second sampling program occurred along the southern Turk- ish coast between Antalya and Alanya. Its main objectives were, first, to visit one or two Speleo Nederland stations and enlarge the small original sample sizes (1-3 individuals), and, second, to collect a new series of sam- ples east of where the 1987 expedition went, in order to obtain additional distribution data about stygobiont crustaceans. Unfortunately, the first task could not be achieved. In contrast to Speleo Nederland, the 1996 sampling program took place in the dry season when the ground-water level was low and many minor streams and rivers had be- come partly or completely dry.
