The genus Gammarus , instituted by Fabricius in 1775, has come to include a large number of species—so many and so varied, in fact, that the necessity for a revision of the genus is well recognized. An extensive examination of the taxonomic literature has inevitably led to the conclusion that several more or less well-defined groups of species can be recognized among the total assemblage, and that some of these at least should be separated off as distinct genera.
