Remarks
Hyalella sarukhani sp. nov. (from Mexico City) can be easily distinguished from species in the Hyalella azteca complex by the telson with rounded distal margin and the presence of 2 long setae wide apart (almost one-third of maximum width of telson). This species has more serrations in the posterior margin of the lobe of pereopod 7 but less stout setae on the distal margin than H. azteca . This species bears setules on the palp of maxilla 1, in contrast with Hyalella wakulla (Drumm and Knight, 2019) . The morphological differences from the other Hyalella species described in this work are summarised in Tables S1 View Table 1 and S2 ( Table 1 View Table 1 ).
