Abstract:
Three amber pieces containing crangonyctid aquatic
amphipods are examined. One of the specimens appears to have the urosome
unsegmented, and uropods 3 shortened, resembling extant Synurella sp. In
another amber piece there are eight specimens of Palaeogammarus
sp. which look as if they had been dry prior to becoming embedded in
the resin.
Key words: Amber; Crustacea; Amphipoda; Palaeogammarus; Synurella
