The author has studied the amphipods collected in the Philippines during a research campaign concerning groundwater fauna.
The new mesopsammic genus Cottarellia, found on Sabang beach (eastern Mindoro), is described. This genus, represented by one exceptionally small (1.2 mm) blind species (Cottarellia minima), is most closely related to Homellia Walker 1904 and Metaceradocus Chevreux 1925.
Two other species were also found during this campaign: Bollegidia sootai (Coineau & Rao 1972), hitherto known only in the Andaman Islands and Malaysia, and a species of Bogidiella Hertzog 1933 which is probably new but could not be described because of the poor state of preservation of the two specimens examined.
In the phreatic fresh water of Palawan Island a new species of Bogidiella, B. daccordii, was found; it has been provisionally placed in the subgenus Medigidiella Stock 1981. This species is most closely related to Bogidiella sarawacensis Stock 1988.
