| Abstract : | The family Niphargidae (Crustacea Amphipoda Senticaudata) in Bulgaria is studied, synonymy, new and known localities of each species are presented. Holotype and paratype of Niphargus vlkanovi S. Karaman & G. Karaman, 1959 (cave near Zhivata voda) is partially redescribed and figured based on existing slides. The new subspecies N. vlkanovi burgasi, ssp. nov. from several localities from Burgas region is described and figured, and its relation to the ssp. vlkanovi is discussed. Some new data of N. bureschi Fage, 1926, N. toplicensis and N. georgievi S. Karaman & G. Karaman, 1959 are presented and locus typicus of N. georgievi is established. Key to the Niphargus species of Bulgaria (18) is composed. |
