Abstract

Abstract

       The Gammarid amphipod is one of the major benthic invertebrates associated with macro-algae in the coastal area. This work aimed to study the species diversity of gammarid amphipods inhabited macro-algae hosts at Samaesan Islands, Chon Buri Province, in February and October 2023. A total of 19 species in ten families were identified. Cymadusa cavimana (Sivaprakasam, 1970), Cymadusa tattersalli Peart, 2004; Paragrubia vorax Chevreux, 1901; Elasmopus nanshaensis Ren, 1998; Apolochus likelike (Barnard, 1970); Ericthonius brasiliensis (Dana, 1853); and Gammaropsis longiseta Ren, 2006 are reported for the first time from Thai waters. Five species are apparently unidentified. These shallow-water species represent mostly those associated with algae. The most diverse family in this study is Amphithoidae (five species), followed by Maeridae and Photidae. Illustrations and descriptions of each species are provided.
