Ampelisca Kroyer, 1842 (Amphipoda: Ampeliscidae) in the Persian Gulf and the Gulf of Oman

摘要

The representatives of the genus Ampelisca Kroyer, 1842 collected during the PGGOOS expedition (the Persian Gulf and Gulf of Oman Oceanographic Study) were studied. The species Ampelisca persicus sp. nov., Ampelisca lowryi sp. nov. and Ampelisca linearis sp. nov. were described. A redescription of Ampelisca cyclops Walker, 1904 was prepared based on material of the western part of the Indian Ocean. The differences between this and other records of A. cyclops were studied.
