Three species of Amphipoda are recorded from interstices of a marine beach on the island of Santiago, Cape Verde Archipelago: Cabogidiella littoralis n. gen., n. sp. (Bogidiellidae), Psammogammarus spinosus n. sp. (Melitidae), and Idunella sketi Karaman, 1980 (Liljeborgiidae). The latter, widely distributed species (West Indies, Canary Islands), is new to the Cape Verde Islands. Furthermore, an isopod is described from the same locality, Caecostenetroides mixtum n. sp. (Gnathostenetroididae).

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.
