Iphigenellidae Explained
Iphigenellidae is a freshwater family of amphipods in the superfamily Gammaroidea.[1] It is found in the Ponto-Caspian region, which encompasses the Black, Azov, and Caspian Seas.[2]
Taxonomy
The family has only one recognised species.[3]
- Iphigenella Sars, 1896[4]
- Iphigenella acanthopoda Sars, 1896
Two species – I. andrussowi and I. shablensis[5] – were, respectively, described by Sars and Carausu in 1894 and 1943, but these species are no longer recognized.
