| Summary: | Gammaridea (Crustacea, Amphipoda) from the Coastal Area of King George Island (South Shetland Islands). Podoceridae The present study is based upon amphipod material collected during an investigation of the sublittoral of Fildes Peninsula (south‐western part of King George Island, South Shetland Islands). This research was part of the activities of GDR biologists participating in the 26th and 30th Soviet Antarctic Expeditions (SAE) in 1980/82 and 1984/86, respectively. In samples from five diving sites and in one sample taken up from the wrack‐bed, two representatives of the family Podoceridae have been found. – Podocerus capillimanus N ICHOLLS , 1938 was detected in the sublittoral of the South Shetland Islands for the first time. A remarkable mass occurrence of this species is described. – With Dulichia antarctica sp.n., the occurrence of a species of Dulichia , a genus known as yet from the arctic boreal only is recorded for the southern hemisphere. |
