New data on the family Niphargidae from Albania. Niphargus lepushensis sp. nov. (Amphipoda Gammaridea) (Contribution to the knowledge of the Amphipoda 340)
Abstract
A new member of the subterranean family Niphargidae (Crustacea: Amphipoda: Senticaudata), Niphargus lepushensis sp. nov., from a spring on the banks of the Shushica River in southern Albania, is described. This taxon is similar to the species Niphargus impexus G. Karaman, 2016 and Niphargus zarosiensis Zettler M.L. & Zettler A., 2017, both from the island of Crete, Greece, as well as to Niphargus rhodi S. Karaman, 1950 from Rhodos Island, Greece. It is the fourth species of the genus Niphargus registered so far in the fauna of Albania.
