It was considered as an endemic species of the Lyell’s cave (before called “Grande Caverne d’Engihoul”) for a long time, but later the species was reported also from Luxembourg (Hoffmann 1963), Germany (Spangenberg 1973) and British Isles (reviewed by Knight &amp; Gledhill 2010). In Belgium, it was previously reported from five localities and considered as extinct by Martin et al. (2009). We found the species on two additional localities. The species is distributed only in north-eastern part of Wallonia, where it is known from caves, one artificial gallery, wells in surroundings of Liège and mine gallery near Chartreuse (Fig. 2).</p><p>This is one of the smallest niphargid species that regularly co-occurs with other Niphargus species (Schellenberg 1934, Knight &amp; Gledhill 2010, App. 1). Preliminary molecular studies suggest that continental populations are genetically different from populations on British Isles (Moškrič, unpublished). The taxonomic status of Belgian populations, however, should remain unchanged given that they include the type population. However, the taxonomic revision may reveal that the size of the species range is smaller, which can affect species conservation status.</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/241C87DE2D29B05EFF10FF7FC17CFC97	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

The species was originally described from British Isles (Karaman 1980). It is one of the most frequently reported Niphargus species from the entire Europe, including Austria (Straškraba 1958), Belgium (Straškraba 1958), Czech (Schellenberg 1938; Skalski 1972); France (Straškraba 1958), Germany (Ronneberger 1975; Zaenker &amp; Nagel 1999), Luxembourg (Straškraba 1958), Italy (Karaman 1982), Netherlands (Holthuis 1950; Stock 1961; Cuppen 1978a,b), and Poland (Skalski 1970). The species is known from 26 localities in Belgium, four of which we report here for the first time (Fig. 2). Most of the localities are situated in south-eastern Belgium, but there are three localities in its western parts (Fig. 2), referring to localities from wells (App. 1). We collected the species mainly in tiny pools in mud and clay and might have been washed out from epikarst. Other published records from Belgium report the species also from interstitial and wells. This is in accord with published information, hypothesizing that species with such morphologies are bound to tiny crevices, either in interstitial or in epikarst (Trontelj et al. 2012).</p><p>Many populations of this species were described as distinct subspecies (e.g., Sket 1999); however, recent molecular analyses indicated that this morphology evolved several times independently (Trontelj et al. 2009). The populations from Belgium likely belong to species complex distributed between southern Britain and Germany (possibly “ N. aquilex E” from McInnerney et al. 2014). Although N. aquilex from West Europe was included into at least three molecular studies (Trontelj et al. 2009; Hartke et al. 2011; McInnerney et al. 2014), its taxonomic structure so far remains unclear. All molecular studies hint extremely complex taxonomy that ought to be revised in a separate study.</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/241C87DE2D29B059FF10F9C1C147FBDD	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

It is distributed in the Netherlands and Belgium (Stock &amp; Gledhill 1 977), and early records of N. kochianus from Belgium may in fact refer to this species (Schellenberg 1934, Leruth 1939b). According to the available data the species was broadly found throughout Wallonia, albeit we found the species only in the eastern part of the country (Fig. 3). Following Leruth (1934a, b, 1939b), the species distribution is linked to the watershed of the Meuse River. Phylogenetic analyses suggested a close relationship with N. kochianus (Trontelj et al. 2009; Esmaeili et al. 2015), and a close phylogenetic relatedness to fauna from the British Isles. Martin et al. (2009) reported the nominal subspecies N. k. kochianus for Belgium as well. This finding is difficult to explain as the species is distributed in Great Britain only. Its presence in Belgium suggests that is should be able to maintain geneflow across the sea, and for this reason we consider the presence of N. k. kochianus doubtful.</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/241C87DE2D2EB058FF10FB8CC56AFE38	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

In Belgium it was found at 15 localities, caves, wells and springs (Fig. 3, App. 1). We did not recollect this species in any of the samples in our study. According to published information from all parts of its range, the species seem to inhabit preferentially interstitial habitats (Fišer et al. 2017).</p><p>Molecular analyses suggested “ N. fontanus ” is a polyphyletic complex; at least populations from upper Danube and Rhine Basins are not closely related to the name-bearing British populations (Trontelj et al. 2009; Fišer et al. 2017). The populations from Belgium belong to the lineage, which is distributed also in Britain and is only weakly differentiated from another lineage endemic to southern Britain (McInnerney et al. 2014). More detailed analyses are needed to clarify i) whether the two lineages can be treated as separate species and ii) which of the two lineages comprises nominal N. fontanus and which lineage deserves a separate species status.</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/241C87DE2D2FB05BFF10FB20C52DFF19	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

The taxon is distributed in France, Belgium, Luxembourg and Netherlands (Stock &amp; Gledhill 1977). In Belgium, it is restricted to karst areas, where it was collected along rivers. In newly collected material we found the species only in the localities around Liège in Eastern part of the country (Fig.4). We collected the species mainly in springs, but also caves (often in “gours” — little pools in the calcite reservoirs; see the list, App. 1). The species seems to be generally bound to small pore habitats (Stock &amp; Gledhill 1977).</p><p>Already Stock &amp; Gledhill (1977) erected N. k. pachypus from subspecies to species level, and subsequent molecular analyses suggest that the species is not related to N. kochianus s. str. (McInnerney et al. 2014). Unlike previous species, this species shows relatedness towards niphargids from continental Europe. Phylogeography and population structure of this species was never studied, but indirect evidence from N. virei and N. schellenbergi, derived from similar distributional patterns (see below), suggests that some phylogeographic structure and perhaps cryptic species cannot be ruled out.</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/241C87DE2D2CB05BFF10FECFC22AFB53	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

Nagel 1999), France (Ginet 1996), Luxembourg (Hartke et al. 2011), Netherlands (Stock 1961; Cuppen, 1978a,b) and Belgium (Fig. 5, App. 1). All studies (e.g. Martin et al. 2009), including ours, suggest this is the most widespread species in Belgium, and indeed, it was present in 65% localities (Fig. 5; list and App. 1). The species seems to be found in all habitats, from running waters, caves to springs. Our results are concordant with data from neighboring South Limburg (Netherlands, Stock 1961; Cuppen 1978a,b).</p><p>Some authors considered it as subspecies of N. aquilex (e.g. Zaenker &amp; Nagel 1999), but molecular phylogenetic studies clearly rejected its subspecies status (Fišer et al. 2008). Genetically it is only modestly differentiated, although cryptic species within the complex cannot be ruled out (Hartke et al. 2011, McInnerney et al. 2014). Noteworthy, the samples from Belgium turned to be rather heterogeneous morphologically. One of the diagnostic characters (inner ramus of uropod I shorter than outer) turned to be polymorphic, i.e. inner ramus as long as or even slightly longer than outer ramus. We suggest that other characters, like elevated number of retinacles in pleopods, are more reliable for identification of Belgian populations of this species.</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/241C87DE2D2DB055FF10FDCCC437F880	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

The specimens are rather large (&gt; 15 mm), extremely slender, with relatively large gnathopods, narrow bases of pereopods V–VII, two retinacles on the pleopods and a setose telson (Fig. 7). Particularly distinct is the setal pattern of telson, strongly setose but completely lacking robust setae. Abundant thin setae were observed also in the telson of some populations of N. schellenbergi (see Karaman 1934), but the putative new species differs from the latter in the lower number of hooks in the retinacles. Despite its morphological distinctness, its separate status needs to be confirmed also with molecular delimitation methods. Sequencing in our analyses failed, and additional specimens need to be collected for formal description.</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/241C87DE2D23B057FF10F978C2FEFF18	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.
