Stockigidiella is easily distinguished by a row of long, deeply bifid setae on pereopods 5 and 6, whereas Omangidiella is distinguished by a greatly reduced propodus of gnathopod 2 and elongate oostegites; it also possesses a third coxal lobe on the maxilliped, a unique character noted only in three other bogidiellid genera from northern and eastern Africa. At present, the family Bogidiellidae contains 35 genera and 105 species but a significant number of provisionally recognized new species and possibly several new genera await description. The geographic distribution of the family Bogidiellidae is nearly circumglobal, but species tend to be clustered in discontinuous regions. A number of important questions regarding the origin and biogeographic history of the family remains unanswered.</p>

Although Glyptogidiella omanica gen. et sp. nov. exhibits several features typical of the Bogidiellidae (i. e. combined display of distinct carpal lobe on first gnathopod, reduced pleopodal rami, and unsegmented exopodite of third uropod), its exceptionally large fifth coxal plate and short rami of third uropod do not fit in the restricted diagnosis of the family as recently presented elsewhere. In fact, the enlarged coxal plate V is a feature not reported in any other amphipod, whereas no other bogidiellid displays an expanded basis on pereopod VII. The habitus of Glyptogidiella is not typical for a dweller of a true interstitial niche, with its short antennae, large coxal plate and short and stubby rami on the third uropod. This suggests that the interstitial medium could not be the primary habitat for the species, and that the underground of wadis might contain interstices of large size and could also be in contact with karstic hollows.</p>
