Description
Summary:GENUS RELICTOGAMMARUS GEN. NOV. Type and the only known species Gammarus stoerensis Reid, 1938. Etymology In Latin relictus = retarded, left behind. Distribution The species is present intertidally along the eastern and north-western North Atlantic waters. Remarks This Atlantic marine or brackish water species splits from the Gammaridae tree basally, and is the sister taxon to the rest of the family. The same phylogenetic position of this species was shown by MacDonald et al., 2005. Published as part of Hou, Zhonge & Sket, Boris, 2016, A review of Gammaridae (Crustacea: Amphipoda): the family extent, its evolutionary history, and taxonomic redefinition of genera, pp. 323-348 in Zoological Journal of the Linnean Society 176 (2) on page 336, DOI:10.1111/zoj.12318, http://zenodo.org/record/5357553
