ON THE HIGHER CLASSIFICATION OF LAKE BAIKAL AMPHIPODS
Abstract A new system of higher taxa of Baikalian amphipods is proposed. This fauna forms a monophyletic part of the superfamily Gammaroidea Leach, 1814 (sensu Bousfield, 1977) and now comprises: Acanthogammaridae Garjajeff, 1901 (with the subfamilies: Acanthogammarinae Garjajeff, 1901, Abyssogammar...

| Summary: | Abstract A new system of higher taxa of Baikalian amphipods is proposed. This fauna forms a monophyletic part of the superfamily Gammaroidea Leach, 1814 (sensu Bousfield, 1977) and now comprises: Acanthogammaridae Garjajeff, 1901 (with the subfamilies: Acanthogammarinae Garjajeff, 1901, Abyssogammarinae n. subfam., Eulimnogammarinae n. subfam., Hyalellopsinae n. subfam., Odontogammarinae n. subfam., Plesiogammarinae n. subfam., Parapallaseinae n. subfam., and Poekilogammarinae n. subfam.), Macrohectopidae Sowinsky, 1915, Micruropidae n. fam., and Pachyschesidae n. fam. The amphipod fauna of Lake Baikal consists of 50 genera, 261 species, and 73 subspecies. One genus, 4 species, and 8 subspecies of Baikalian origin are endemic to the Angara River and one species is endemic to the Yenisey River delta. The total number of taxa of Baikalian amphipods is now 4 families, 8 subfamilies, 51 genera, 265 species, and 81 subspecies. Un nouveau systeme de taxa superieurs est propose pour les amphipodes du lac Baikal. Cette faune constitue une partie monophyletique de la super-famille Gammaroidea Leach, 1814 (sensu Bousfield, 1977) et comprend maintenant: Acanthogammaridae Garjajeff, 1901 (avec les sousfamilles: Acanthogammarinae Garjajeff, 1901, Abyssogammarinae n. sous-fam., Eulimnogammarinae n. sous-fam., Hyalellopsinae n. sous-fam., Odontogammarinae n. sous-fam., Plesiogammarinae n. sous-fam., Parapallaseinae n. sous-fam., Poekilogammarinae n. sous-fam.), Macrohectopidae Sowinsky, 1915, Micruropidae n. fam. et Pachyschesidae n. fam. La faune d'amphipodes du lac Baikal comprend 50 genres, 261 especes et 73 sous-especes. Un genre, 4 especes et 8 sous-especes d'origine baikalienne sont endemiques du fleuve Angara et une espece est endemique du delta du fleuve Yenisey. Le nombre total des taxa d'amphipodes du Baikal est maintenant de 4 familles, 8 sous-familles, 51 genres, 265 especes et 81 sous-especes. |
