The Author describes Bogidiella somala n.sp., collected in weels in the middle Uebi Scebeli valley (Somalia). The species is notably isolated within its genus by the particular morphology of the mandibles, the extremely lengthened mandibular palp (Fig. 2 A ), the broad coxal plates (Fig. 2 C) and by the morphology of the 5th-7th pair of pereiopods, which have an enlarged basipodite (Fig. 4 B, D).
B. somala (with B. tabascensis Villalobos and B. bredirti Shoemaker) has the general structure of a cavernicolous type, which contrasts with the many forms o f the mesopsammic-interstitial type. The discovery of B. somala is of notable zoogeographic interest as until now neither superficial or subterranean freshwater Gammaridae were known to exist in intertropical Africa.

Hadzia pachypoda n. sp., which inhabits the interstitial and phreatical freshwaters of northern Somalia is described. According to the morphology of this new species it results that (i) the genus Hadzia S. Karaman, 1932 must divided into the subgenera Hadzia s. str. and Metaniphargus Stephensen, 1933, and (ii) the genera Liagoceradocus J. L. Barnard, 1965 and Metahadzia Stock, 1977 are synonymous with Hadzia s. str. This is the first time that Hadzia has been recorded in Africa.
New data on the genus Afridiella G. S. Karaman & J. L. Barnard, 1979 are also given. Afridiella somala (Ruffo, 1970) has been found in wells located midway in the Uebi Scebeli basin (right side), 50-130 km north of the typical locality. Afridiella pectinicauda n. sp. has been discovered on the left side of the Uebi Scebeli river. It is easily distinguished from other Afridiella by the longer and thinner legs and antennae, and other aspects of the buccal apparatus.

Two new species of amphipods (Crustacea), inhabiting the phreatical freshwaters of two different African localities, are described. Afridiella messanai n. sp., collected in a well of Uebhao (southern Somalia) differs from the other known species, above all in the mandibular palp, in the shape of the gnathopods and in the number of spines of uropods III. The discovery of this species reduces the distinguishing differences between Afridiella and Bogidiella. Particularly, the mandibular palp, mandibular corn and gnathopods lose importance. Maghrebidiella maroccana n. gen. n. sp., collected in Morocco, in a well near Marrakech, differs from the other bogidiellid genera in the following characters: epistome and mandibular palp shape, non-triturative molar process, inner lobe of the maxillae I without setae, pleopods with outer ramus extended, and outer side of uropods I rami with three spines. Maghrebidiella seems to have intermediate features between Afridiella and Bogidiella, approaching, in part, to Spelaeogammarus.
