Melitid amphipods of Barrow Island, Western Australia Part II - recent discoveries

Abstract

Investigation of new sites of underground waters on Barrow Island, Western Australia, yielded amphipods of the families Melitidae and Bogidiellidae at seven locations not previously sampled. Described species of the genus Nedsia, family Melitidae, were found at several of these locations; three new species of the genus are described from two sites. Keys to the known species of Nedsia are extended to include the three new ones.
