Found in several localities of southern Zagros regions, in the midlands of Fars Province (Fig. 1). Stock et al. (1998) reported a sample from Mashhad, north east of Iran, identified as G. crinicaudatus . We could not examine this material, however, a recent sample collected in the very same locality and identified by the first author in the very same locality revealed the population to be G. komareki . This finding, together with the very long distance between this locality and the region inhabited by G. crinicaudatus, supports our conclusion that the Mash'had sample of Stock et al., (1998) was in fact G. komareki .</p><p>Ecological notes. The species inhabits springs, brooks and small streams in headwaters with slow current in altitudes ranging from 712 m to 2247 m asl (Mean = 1581 m, SD = 457, n = 14). Water temperature was up to 22ºC (Mean = 16.2 ºC, SD = 5.6, n = 14), however in few localities the species was collected in winter at only 1ºC. Ionic concentration in these waters was variable among localities – the electric conductivity ranged from 150 to 810 μS/ cm (Mean = 312 μS/cm, SD = 206).</p><p>Taxonomic remarks. Examination of material mentioned above (including the type material) showed that this species has a longer setation on flagellum and peduncle of second antenna than in the original description. Other sources of ambiguity were found in the length of antennal gland cone (variable in size) and in variation in having or lacking the postero-distal corner setae of pereopod 7 basis in different populations. At first glance, the species may be confused with several other species according to some of the above features. However, from G. komareki it differs by having less dense setae on antenna 2 which are not curved distally (Stock et al., 1998, Fig 10c), as well as less setose uropod 3 and pereopod 4 (ibid., Figs. 11, 12). From G. parthicus it may be distinguished by less dense setation of antenna 2, longer setae on pereopod 4 and lack of tiny spines on postero-distal corner of pereopod 7 basis (ibid., Fig. 12e). From G. sepidannus it differs by having longer endopodite of uropod 3 and setose anterior margin of pereopod 5–7. Compared to G. loeffleri it has apparently less numerous and shorter setae on anterior margin of pereopod 7.</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/03A387DC093D2858FF31AE9DFEF4D999	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

This species is widely distributed in fresh running waters in Iran, most frequently along a northwest-northeast axis in northern skirts of Alborz (Elburz) Mountains (Stock et al., 1998; Alizade-Eghtedar &amp; Sari, 2007). Some populations are reaching southwards to the northern margins of Zagros (Stock et al., 1998; Ebrahimnezhad et al., 2005; Khalaji-Pirbalouty &amp; Sari, 2006) (Fig. 1).</p><p>Ecological notes. The species lives in habitats with slow water current and dense aquatic vegetation (Karaman &amp; Pinkster, 1977) having cold water (ca. 12ºC), at higher elevations (above 2200 m asl) (Khalaji-Pirbalouty &amp; Sari, 2004). Population from Amanabad inhabits a spring with water temperatures from 8 to 18ºC.</p><p>Taxonomic remarks. Long setae on antenna 2 can be a source of confusion in differentiating of G. komareki from few Iranian species. In G. komareki the setation is more dense and distally curved (Karaman &amp; Pinkster, 1977, Fig. 33D) if compared to G. crinicaudatus . In the latter species pereopod 4 and uropod 3 (ibid. Figs. 33 O, K) are more setose than in G. komareki . Setation of antennae 2 in G. pretzmanni is dense and highly curled (Mateus &amp; Mateus, 1990, Fig. 2C), but the species has very short setae (shorter than the spines) on anterior margin of pereopod 7. In G. parthicus anterior margin of pereopod 7 is bare as well (Stock et al., 1998, Fig. 15c). Gammarus loeffleri, in contrast, has much longer setae on anterior of pereopod 7 (Zamanpoore et al., 2010a, Fig. 9C) than G. komareki .</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/03A387DC093A2859FF31AFD2FE95D942	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

Distribution of this species in Iran is restricted to the far north west of the country, a very big population in Ne'ur Lake, and several populations in the west Alborz (Stock et al., 1998; Alizade-Eghtedar &amp; Sari, 2007) (Fig. 1).</p><p>Ecological notes. Although inhabiting running waters in some occasions, this species is generally found in stagnant waters and lakes (e.g. mountain and glacier) with temperatures lower than 20ºC (detailed ecological characteristics in Karaman &amp; Pinkster 1977, p. 34).</p><p>Taxonomic remarks. Among Iranian gammarids, G. lacustris is most similar to G. pseudosyriacus . However, the latter has an elevated dorsal surface of urosome, compared to not elevated urosome in G. lacustris (Karaman &amp; Pinkster 1977, Fig. 12H). G. bakhteyaricus shows similarities to G. lacustris, from which it differs with the urosome elevation, slender basis of pereopod 7 and, most important, having 2–3 tiny spines on ventral-distal corner of the first peduncle segment in antenna 1. G. lacustris is also similar to G. lordeganensis in having non-setose pereopods 5–7 and antenna 2. However, there are characters well enough for allowing to recognise these species. These include, in the latter species, the acuminate postero-inferior of epimeral plates 2 and 3, non-plumose setae on outer margin of exopodite in uropod 3, and shorter antennal gland cone.</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/03A387DC093B2859FF31A81BFCEBDE27	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

Yasooj, (30º40'N, 51º30'E), Zagros Region, Kohgiluye Va Buierahmad Province.</p><p>Material examined. Specimens from Sheshpeer spring, (30º15'N, 52º03'E) (ZMA Crust. Amph. 202031).</p><p>Distribution. This species seems to be endemic to a limited area in lower central Zagros, in three locations including locus typicus and two other in north-west and south-east of it (Fig. 1).</p><p>Ecological notes. The original description lacks any ecological data. However, the locality lies in a mountainous region with hundreds of cold springs.</p><p>Taxonomic remarks. Individuals from the Sheshpeer spring possess all the described features of the typus except for the postero-distal corner setae on pereopod 7 basis. Among Iranian gammarids this species is most close to G. baloutchi and G. sepidannus, however G. lobifer bears short setae in peduncle segments 4 and 5 of antenna 2 (Stock et al., 1998, Fig. 24d), versus long setae in the two other species. Dorsal surface of urosomites in G. lobifer is slightly elevated (ibid., Fig. 24i) compared to flat urosome surface in both G. baloutchi and G. sepidannus . In addition, antennal gland cone is long in G. lobifer, while it is short in G. b a l o u t c h i.</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/03A387DC093B2859FF31AFB6FBBDDCA1	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

A wide area along west-east axis from SE of Shiraz to the far east end of Fars province is occupied by this species. No populations of this or any other Gammarus species can be found north- and southwards from that region due to presence of an arid desert in the north, and high salinities and temperatures of inland waters in the south (Fig. 1).</p><p>Ecological notes. This species inhabits springs and occasionally first order small streams at altitudes from 1100 m to 1800 m asl (Mean = 1383 m, SD = 266), which are lower if compared to most other Zagros species. Water temperature in these places ranged from 12 to 24ºC (Mean = 20.3 ºC, SD = 2.8). Waters had also higher salinities – the electric conductivity measured from 180 to as much as 1000 μS/cm (Mean = 471 μS/cm, SD = 133).</p><p>Taxonomic remarks. The special shape of the basis of pereopod 7, having absolutely no protruding lobe on postero-distal corner (Zamanpoore et al., 2010a, Fig. 9C), could be a good identification feature for G. loeffleri, but some variation of this character was observed – in a few populations the individuals possessed a small lobe in this position. Regarding this and the type of setation on antenna 2 and on pereopods, the species might be confused at first glance with G. crinicaudatus . However, in G. loeffleri, the length and number of setae, especially on pereopods (ibid., Figs. 9A–C) are much higher than in the latter species. Another species, close in both morphological and geographical terms is G. s h i r a z i n u s, although presence of two tiny spines on the ventral-distal corner of first peduncle of antenna 1 distinguishes it from G. loeffleri . Finally, G. loeffleri differs from G. komareki by having non-curled setae on antenna 2, presence of calceoli, highly setose pereopod 4 (ibid., Fig. 8D), and much longer setae on many appendages, including pereopods 5–7, uropod 3, telson, and posterior dorsal margin of urosomites (ibid., Figs. 9A– c, 9F, 7J, 9D).</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/03A387DC0938285AFF31AAE7FEA4DE18	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

The most conspicuous feature of this species – dense long setae on peduncles and flagellum of antenna 2 (much longer than what is drawn in the original description), makes it close to G. pretzmanni and G. komareki . However, presence of 1–2 tiny spines in postero-distal corner of basis in pereopod 7 (Stock et al. 1998, Fig. 15c) makes it easy to distinguish G. parthicus from G. komareki (such spines are present also in G. p re t z - manni). In addition, anterior margins of carpal and meral segments of pereopods are bare in G. parthicus (ibid.), vs. having setae in G. komareki . Setae of both peduncles and flagellum on antenna 2 are highly curled in G. pretzmanni, while in G. parthicus they are slightly curved distally only on the flagellum (ibid., Fig. 13e), such setation pattern can also be seen on pereopod 3 (ibid., Fig. 14e). Moreover, dorsal side of antenna 2 peduncle is almost free of setae in G. parthicus (ibid., Fig. 13e), while in G. pretzmanni the setae are present in dense groups also on the dorsal surface.</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/03A387DC0939285BFF31A8A2FF5DDD75	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

Distribution range of this species in Iran was reported up to this time to be a vast area of the northern, central, and southern Zagros and its eastern outskirts facing the Great Central Basin (Mateus &amp; Mateus, 1990; Khalaji-Pirbalouty &amp; Sari, 2004; Ebrahimnezhad et al., 2005). Unpublished data suggest their presence also in the province of Kerman in the far endings of southern Zagros Mountains. As revealed from our analysis of the literature data and own collections, G. pseudosyriacus is one of the two most widely distributed gammarid species in Iran (Fig. 1).</p><p>Ecological notes. Having a wide range of tolerance to temperature (usually 5–21ºC) (Khalaji-Pirbalouty &amp; Sari, 2004), the species is often found in “desert-like” regions with water temperatures occasionally up to 34ºC (Karaman &amp; Pinkster, 1977). Data from recent sampling done by the first author in Fars province showed a variation of water temperature from 11 to 25 ºC (Mean = 15 ºC, SD = 3). Springs with populations of the species were found at altitudes ranging from 905 to 2600 m asl (Mean = 2165 m, SD = 252). Electric conductivity in these waters ranged from 120 μS/cm to 1015 μS/cm (Mean = 362 μS/cm, SD = 169).</p><p>Taxonomic remarks. The species can be confused with G. lacustris and G. lordeganensis, but the elevated postero-dorsal surface of urosomites 1–3 (Karaman &amp; Pinkster, 1977, Fig. 22J) helps to distinguish it from the two latter species. G. pseudosyriacus shares also several features with G. bakhteyaricus, the latter being different with the 2–3 tiny spines on ventral-distal corner of first peduncle segment of antenna 1. Another similar species is G. paricrenatus, differing from G. pseudosyriacus by long setation on ventral side of peduncle segments 4 and 5 in antenna 2, and by the crenulate setose postero-dorsal margin of pereosomites.</p><p>Misidentifications of this species might have arisen primarily from its wide distribution in the Zagros region and a relatively high level of intra-specific morphological variation. Among the variable features are degree of sharpness in postero-distal corner of the third epimeral plate, height of dorsal surface elevation in urosomites 1–3 (eg. case of confusion with G. syriacus), degree of forward extension in antero-distal region of the first coxal plate (eg. case of confusion with G. laticoxalis).</p><p>Misidentifications. Gammarus arduus . Our examination of the material in NHMW revealed that it was misidentified and that in reality the individuals in question belong to G. pseudosyriacus . Besides, G. arduus is a species with distribution restricted only to the Balkan Peninsula with no records in Asia Minor.</p><p>Gammarus laticoxalis . Based on our examination of the material, record of the species from Iran is a case of misidentification. Most possible explanation is that the degree of forward extension in antero-distal region of the first coxal plate in G. pseudosyriacus is variable to some extent, which might lead some authors to confuse it with G. laticoxalis . However, all other morphological characters are absolutely consistent with G. pseudosyriacus .</p><p>Gammarus miae . Type material shows no morphological differences from the type material of G. pseudosyriacus . It is quite apparent to us that this is another case of misidentification, and that the species is a junior synonym of G. pseudosyriacus .</p><p>Gammarus plumipes . The species was described based on a unique feature of having plumose setae on both anterior and posterior margin of all segments of pereopod 3. However, our examination of the holotype did not prove existence of such structure. Instead, numerous setae were covered by minute debris particles that made impression of plumosity. Thus the examined material was evidently identical with G. pseudosyriacus . In conclusion we propose G. plumipes as a junior synonym of G. pseudosyriacus .</p><p>Gammarus syriacus . There are three different samples from Iran misidentified as G. syriacus; after revision they were reclassified to G. pseudosyriacus, G. shirazinus, and G. zagrosensis . Different degree of sharpness in postero-distal pointed corner of epimeral plate 3, and different level of elevation in the dorsal surface of urosomites 1– 3 might have caused incorrect misidentification of the above three species with G. syriacus . Moreover, presence of the species was also denied in Turkey (Özbek &amp; Ustaoġlu, 2006).</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/03A387DC09362855FF31A8F5FCE6DEDA	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

Vezge Morad spring (30°13´N, 51°58´E), S of Sepidan, Fars Province.</p><p>Material examined. Holotype (ZMA, Amph. 206056). Paratypes: Khani Varg spring, 4 km S of Sepidan (30°12´N, 51°59´E) (FAIC 111053); Cheshme Owsip, 3 km NW of Sepidan (30°16´N, 51°57´E) (FAIC 111052); Sheshpeer (spring brook), 10 km SE of Sepidan (30°15´N, 52°03´E) (FAIC 111105).</p><p>Distribution. It is an endemic species restricted to only a small area, being the upper part of the Zohre River catchment in south of the Central Zagros (Fig. 1).</p><p>Ecological notes. Habitats of this species include small mountain springs on altitudes from 2053 m to 2350 m asl (Mean = 2210 m, SD = 80). Water in these springs is cold (8 – 13 ºC, Mean = 12.2 ºC, SD = 1.4), ionic content is low, as conductivity ranges from 180 to 410 μS/cm (Mean = 258 μS/cm, SD = 61). Spring margins are covered with snow or ice during the winter and some time in autumn and spring.</p><p>Taxonomic remarks. Gammarus sepidannus has a shorter endopodite in uropod 3 (Zamanpoore et al., 2009, Fig. 9F), if compared to other Gammarus species in the region. Apart of this feature the species resemble somewhat G. lobifer and G. baloutchi . However, both latter species possess long eyes vs. short eye in G. sepidannus (ibid., Fig. 7A). All peduncle segments and flagellum of antenna 2 in G. sepidannus have long setae (ibid., Fig. 7C), while the seate are short on peduncle and flagellum in G. lobifer (Stock et al., 1998, Fig. 24d), and on flagellum in G. baloutchi (Khalaji-Pirbalouty &amp; Sari, 2006, Fig. 1 A2).</p><p>Gammarus shirazinus Zamanpoore, Grabowski, Poeckl &amp; Schiemer, 2010a</p><p>Gammarus shirazinus Zamanpoore, Grabowski, Poeckl &amp; Schiemer, 2010a: 31 –51, Figs. 2–3.

Misidentified as G. syriacus . Two specimens 16 km SW Shiraz (29°36'54''N 52°32'18''E), Fars Province, (NHMW Amphipoda 4867).</p><p>Distribution. An endemic species, found almost exclusively in Maharlu Lake catchments area in southern Zagros (Fig. 1).</p><p>Ecological notes. This part of the country lies in lowlands, with rivers flowing from springs originating on elevations 1460 –1600 m asl (Mean = 1487 m, SD = 33. Water temperatures range from 18 to 25 ºC (Mean = 21 ºC, SD = 1.6), coupled with an extraordinary high conductivities of 150 – 1800 μS/cm (Mean = 1175 μS/cm, SD = 607).</p><p>Taxonomic remarks. This species can be confused at first glance with G. loeffleri . It may be differentiated from the latter by longer setation of antenna 2 (Zamanpoore et al., 2010a, Fig. 2C) and pereopod 5–7 (Zamanpoore et al., 2010b, Figs. 4A–C), presence of 2 tiny spines on ventro-distal corner of first peduncle in antenna 1 (ibid., Fig. 2B) makes it easy to recognize this species from the other one. This feature is common with G. bakhteyaricus, whose most other morphological characters are different. In a same way, it can be easily shown for G. syriacus . The only possible similarity of both species is longer setation on pereopods 5–7 if compared to other Gammarus species in Iran.</p><p>Misidentifications.

Hekmatara (ZUTC amph. 2251).</p><p>Distribution. This species was found only in locus typicus in north-west of the Zagros, in western Iran.</p><p>Ecological notes. This cold mountainous region lies at an altitude of ca. 700 m asl.</p><p>Taxonomic remarks. Long setation of antenna 2 makes G. sirvannus resembling a few other species present in the same region. However, in G. komareki, such setae are slightly curled, it has small eyes, lacks the distinctly projecting postero-distal corner lobe in bases of pereopods 6–7, and has few short setae on pereopod 5–7. Elongated eyes and setation of antenna 2 make G. sirvannus similar to G. loeffleri and to G. shirazinus, but the latter differ with highly setose pereopod 3–7. G. parthicus may be obviously told apart from G. sirvannus by the small eyes and lack of distinct projection in postero-distal corner of pereopod 6–7 bases in the former species. In a detailed examination, presence of a single long seta on the first article of mandible palp is a deciding criterion to differentiate G. sirvannus from all the other similar species.</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/03A387DC09342857FF31AF91FD12DB87	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

An endemic species, inhabiting almost the same geographic area in the lower Central Zagros as G. sepidannus (Fig. 1).</p><p>Ecological notes. Gammarus zagrosensis is sympatric with G. sepidannus, so ecological features of their habitats are mostly similar. In the montane (1991 – 2350 m asl, Mean = 2196 m, SD = 85) and cold region of lower Central Zagros, the water temperature measured from 10 to 13ºC over the year (Mean = 12 ºC, SD = 0.8), with electric conductivities of 180 – 410 μS/cm (Mean = 249 μS/cm, SD = 61).</p><p>Taxonomic remarks. With the relatively short setation of pereopod 5–7, the species might seem similar to G. syriacus, but features quite clearly separating it from the latter species include: long setae on inferior margin of epimeral plates 1–3 (Zamanpoore et al., 2009, Fig. 4E), slightly pointed epimeral plates 2 and 3 (ibid.), long setae in postero-distal corner of pereopod 6 and 7 (ibid., Figs. 4A–C), longer antennal gland cone (ibid., Fig. 2C).</p><p>Misidentifications.
