Amsterdam Expeditions to the West Indian Islands, Report 33. The stygobiont Amphipoda of Jamaica
Of sixty-one stygofauna samples from Jamaica, seven contained hypogean Amphipoda. These seven samples yielded four species (three new) of the genus Metaniphargus. No other genera were encountered. Descriptive notes on these four species are provided. The cladistics of Metaniphargus and allied genera are briefly discussed.

Animals that have adapted specifically to life underground are often seen as an evolutionary dead end. Nevertheless, some such stygobionts occur in springs, transitional zones that expose them to different selective pressures. Understanding their presence in these habitats provides insight into their ecological flexibility and potential for adaptation.
