Four new Gammarus species from Tibetan Plateau with a key to Tibetan freshwater gammarids (Crustacea, Amphipoda, Gammaridae).

ABSTRACT: Four new species of the genus Gammarus are described and illustrated from Tibetan Plateau. Gammarus altussp. n. and G. limosussp. n. are characterized by pereopods III-IV with a few short setae and uropod III with marginal spines accompanied by short setae. Gammarus kangdingensissp. n. and G. gonggaensissp. n. are characterized by pereopods III-IV with long straight setae on posterior margins and inner ramus of uropod III 0.4 times as long as outer ramus. Detailed morphological comparisons with related species are discussed. A key to 15 Gammarus species from the Tibetan Plateau and a map of their distributions are provided.
