Abstract

Seven geographical variation types of G.sobaegensis in South Korea were reported by Kim and Lee(1977) and Lee and Kim (1980). After extensive reexamination, we considered type 4, one of the variation types collectd from various localities of Kyongsangbuk-do Pongwha-gun, as a new species This new species is named as Gammarus longisaeta and fully described and illustrated. Adding this new species, total 9 species of freshwater Gammarus are Known to Korea.

Kim과 Lee(1977) 그리고 Lee and Kim(1980)이 Gammarus sobaegensis의 변이종으로 취급했던 경상북도 봉화군에서 채집된 type 4를 재검토한 결과 독립된 종으로 확인되어 Gammarus longisaeta라고 명명하고 기재한다. 이로써 한구 담수산 Gammarus는 9종이 된다.
