Abstract


An original pictorial guide for the identification of the Families and Genera of the amphipod crustaceans of the Sub Order Gammaridea, from the Iberian Peninsula is presented. The guide includes a total of 40 Families and 142 Genera. When using the guide, it is necessary only, to compare the specimen to be classified with a Master key of 10 plates, for the Family identification. The Master Key is followed by an alphabetically ordered 66 plates, which allow to confirm the Families, and to select the Genera. This system, avoid problems of terminology, and the subjectivity of the classical dichotomic keys.
