GENUS TRICHOGAMMARUS View in CoL GEN. NOV.
Type and the only known species
Chaetogammarus trichiatus Martynov, 1932 (syn. Chaetogammarus tenellus major Caraus ¸u, 1943).
Etymology
Named after its hairy uropod III; in ancient Greek thríks, trikhós = hair.
Distribution
Chaetogammarus trichiatus inhabits affluents of the Black Sea only.
Remarks
Although very similar to both Chaetogammarus and Homoeogammarus , it can be distinguished by the characteristic setosity of uropod III. Phylogenetically, this clade is also nested within the Ponto-Caspian group, distant from Homoeogammarus , but very close to the Dinaric clade of Homoeogammarus .
