Summary: | GENUS MARINOGAMMARUS SCHELLENBERG, 1937 B Type species Gammarus marinus Leach, 1815. Aditional species Molecularly (conditionally) proven (Hou et al ., 2014) taxa are: Gammarus obtusatus Dahl, 1938, Marinogammarus pirloti Sexton and Spooner, 1940; probably also Gammarus finmarchicus Dahl, 1938, and Marinogammarus atlanticus Dahl, 1958. Distribution Marinogammarus spp. inhabit shallow eastern and north-western North Atlantic waters, particularly where influenced by freshwater inflow. If G. olivii belongs here, as supposed by Sexton & Spooner (1940), the genus is also present in the Mediterranean. Remarks Marinogammarus is a sister clade to Homoeogammarus + Ponto-Caspian group of genera, and molecularly very distant from that sister group. It also differs in biogeography.
