Abstract
Pseudocrangonyx cavernarius sp nov (Amphipoda, Pseudocrangonyctidae) from Huayangdong Cave in Anhui Province, China is described The new species can be distinguished from its congeners by the inner plate of maxilla 1 having four setae, the outer ramus of uropod 2 being about 66% of the length of the inner ramus, the ramus of uropod 3 being about 325 times as long as the peduncle and the telson being cleft for one-fifth of its length The affinity of Pseudocrangonyx cavernarius to related species is discussed
