Abstract

Three new species of the genus Gammarus are described on the base of specimens collected from Ili River, Xinjiang, China. Gammarus montanus sp. n. is characterized by uropod 3 armed with long simple setae and antenna 2 lacking calceoli; G. brevipodus sp. n. is distinguished by the peduncle of antenna 2 with long setae along both margins and inner ramus of uropod 3 about one-third of outer ramus. G. takesensis sp. n. differs from G. brevipodus sp. n. by inner ramus of uropod 3 reaching three-fourths of outer ramus. Distribution data on these gammarids are also presented.
