Abstract

We stated an error in our previous DNA analysis of Gammaridae. The right position of Zenkevitchia in the phylogenetic tree is close to marine and American Gammarus spp., far from the Dinaric troglobiotic Typhlogammarus group of genera. The morphologically diverse Zenkevitchia group supports the necessity of some paraphyly in systematics.
