(Bogidiellidae) and Indoniphargus subterraneus sp. n. (Austroniphargidae) in the Kapiladevi caves of Telangana state. The new genus, Orientogidiella gen. n., is proposed to accommodate all the hitherto known species of the Bogidiella indica-group. This paper gives an illustrated description of the three new species together with their taxonomic affinities. A new record of O. indica comb. n., from the Guthikonda caves in Andhra Pradesh is provided as well. The structure of the Indoniphargus mandible is revisited with scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and revealed a poorly known flexible structure on the molar process which could be useful for phylogenetic purposes. The species diversity and geographic distribution of the Indian stygobiotic amphipods are briefly reviewed.</p>

The new species is assigned to the genus Bogidiella Hertzog and to a newly designated species group within the genus. Despite the near circum-global distribution of the family Bogidiellidae, only a single, partially intact specimen of a bogidiellid had been collected from the Indian subcontinent prior to the discovery of specimens from the well in Nagarjunanagar.&nbsp; Including the new taxon described in this paper, the family Bogidiellidae contains 35 genera and 106 species. Although B. indica is closely similar to other species presently assigned to the genus Bogidiella, it is easily distinguished by a proportionately shorter and relatively heavily spinose pereopod 5. The sexes are generally similar except that the male bears a large, distally modified apical spine on the inner ramus of uropod 1. The location of&nbsp; the well sites within 45 to 50 km of the eastern coast of India strongly suggests that they lie in an area that was submerged under shallow marine water within the last 1 million years.</p>
