| Title : | FIRST DISCOVERY OF NIPHARGUS DECUI G. KARAMAN & SARBU 1995 (CRUSTACEA, FAM. NIPHARGIDAE) IN BULGARIA, WITH REMARKS TO ITS VARIABILITY (CONTRIBUTION TO THE KNOWLEDGE OF THE AMPHIPODA 328) |
| Abstract : | The subterranean species Niphargus decui G. Karaman & Sarbu 1995 (Crustacea Amphipoda, fam. Niphargidae) known so far only from type locality in Romania (Vama Veche village, 10 km south of Mangalia), is discovered at the first time in Bulgaria (subterranean waters of Shabla, Tolbuhin region). The species is redescribed and figured, and variability of the specimens from type-locality and these from Bulgaria is discussed. Morphological relation of this species regarding some other Niphargus species in Bulgaria and some adjacent regions is presented. |
