Découverte, dans le nord-ouest de l’Espagne, d’une deuxième espèce d’Haploginglymus, genre de Crustacés Amphipodes hypogés endémique de la peninsule Ibérique

Haploginglymus hitherto was a monospecific genus, widely distributed, in subterranean waters (caves, wells) on the Iberian Peninsula. A new species of this genus, very clearly differentiated from the type-species H. bragai Mateus & Mateus, 1958, has been discovered in the interstitial of a spring brooklet in the province of Santander in Spain. This new species, of which only the female is known, is described as H. lobatus sp. nov.
