Abstract:
Three new species of the family Gammaridae—Gammarus troglomorphus, sp. n., G. parvioculatus, sp. n. from Lebap
Province of Turkmenistan and Tadzocrangonyx alaicus, sp. n. from Batken Region of Kyrgyzstan are described and illustrated.
Morphological studies of a closely related Turkmenistan population of G. cf. subaequalis-Garlyk, probably conspecific
with Gammarus subaequalis Martynov, 1935 was provided. The affinity of new species to concerned taxa is
discussed. To define phylogenetic position of mentioned species DNA barcode data are obtained. Gammarus troglomorphus
and G. parvioculatus are close neighbors but exceedingly different morphologically. Gammarus troglomorphus is a
troglobiont; G. parvioculatus is an eutroglophile, but with exception of slightly smaller eyes, not troglomorph. Both found
only within small areas in the extreme East of Turkmenistan. Gammarus cf. subaequalis-Garlyk seems to extend from the
same region far into the eastern Kyrgyzstan.
