Abstract:

A new genus and species of Bogidiellidae, Aequigidiella aquilifera, is described from two caves in Thailand. The new  taxon presents a  remarkable morphology (large coxal plates; biramous pleopods, with segmented endopodites; elongate, uncleft telson) reminiscent of certain New World taxa, but unparalleled in the Old World.
