Description

GENUS TRICHOGAMMARUS GEN. NOV.

Type and the only known species

Chaetogammarus trichiatus Martynov, 1932 (syn. Chaetogammarus tenellus major Caraus ¸u, 1943).

Etymology

Named after its hairy uropod III; in ancient Greek thríks, trikhós = hair.

Distribution

Chaetogammarus trichiatus inhabits affluents of the Black Sea only.

Remarks

Although very similar to both Chaetogammarus and Homoeogammarus, it can be distinguished by the characteristic setosity of uropod III. Phylogenetically, this clade is also nested within the Ponto-Caspian group, distant from Homoeogammarus, but very close to the Dinaric clade of Homoeogammarus.
