With a body length of more than 16 mm, this species is the largest bogidiellid recorded to date. In addition to its large size, the absence of a mandibular palp is a unique diagnostic character for the family Bogidiellidae and alone merits recognition of a new genus. The occurrence of Megagidiella azul in an isolated, inland cave habitat marks another exceptional biogeographic record of a bogidiellid amphipod from South America.</p>
