A phylogenetic analysis of the Eriopisa complex (Crustacea: Amphipoda: Melitidae) and a new species from beach interstitia in Venezuela

A new Ingolfiellid (Crustacea, Amphipoda, Ingolfiellidae) from an anchialine pool on Abd al Kuri Island, Socotra Archipelago, Yemen

“…Geographically it is an interesting region as it forms the corridor between the better known Mediterranean and south east Asian/Australian stygofaunas. Sampling by Stock and Nijssen (1965) on Entedebir Island in the southern Red Sea revealed the presence of the circumtropical marine groundwater amphipod genus Psammogammarus (Vonk and Stock 1987; Vonk 1990; Van der Ham and Vonk 2003; Tomikawa et al 2010; Vonk et al 2011), suggesting the possible occurrence of the usual inhabitants of the present coastal groundwater biotope. In this respect also Angeliera xarifae Siewing, 1959 can be mentioned.…”

A new marine interstitial Psammogammarus (Crustacea, Amphipoda, Melitidae) from Gura Ici Island, off western Halmahera (North Moluccas, Indonesia), and an overview of the genus

“…Two taxa currently included in Eriopisa , viz. Eriopisa inaequicaudata Ledoyer, 1982 from the Tulear reef in Madagascar and Eriopisa mochimae van der Ham & Vonk, 2003 from a sandy beach in Venezuela and coral rubber bars in Curaçao, do not display the diagnostic forwardly pointed coxa I, notched head lobe, setose ventral margin of epimeral plate II, and the P7 basis is similar to P6; they should not be considered as members of the genus, nor even of the Eriopisa -group since their U3 exp2 is hardly elongated ( Ledoyer 1982 ; van der Ham and Vonk 2003 ).…”
