The groundwater amphipod Bogidiella turcica n. sp. and other Bogidiellids (Malacostraca, Amphipoda) in southwest Turkey

Bogidiella turcica n. sp. and the male of Bogidiella minotaurus Ruffo and Schiecke, 1976 are described from, respectively, a brackish littoral submarine spring and the interstitial of a river mouth in Turkey. Bogidiella longiflagellum S. Karaman, 1959 was found in 13 inland wells and riverbeds in the region between Izmir and Antalya (Anatolia). Morphological variation within and between three populations of B. longiflagellum from distant localities has been measured by comparing 8 specimens per station.
