Abstract :
The subterranean species Niphargus karkabounasi Ntakis et al., 2015 (Amphipoda, fam. Niphargidae) was known from type-locality only (AgioiTheodoroi, Korinthos, Peloponnese, Greece). This species is established now in some other localities in Greece, partially redescribed, figured and variability of some of its taxonomical characters are presented. The new peculiar species, Niphargus pararhodi, sp. n. is described from the spring-brook along Gadouras River (Apolona region, Greece) based on one adult male and its taxonomical position regarding other species from Greece is discussed.
