Remarks.

Stanko Karaman described (1934) Rivulogammarus balcanicus orientalis n. ssp. from Derbend, eastern site of Erdschias- dag (=Erciyas-dagi), Asia Minor, 2100 m about sea level.

G. Karaman & Pinkster (1987) removed Gammarus balcanicus orientalis to Gammarus balcanicus Schäferna 1922 as synonym. Later G. Karaman (2017) redescribed orientalis from type locality and elevated it to the specific rank, Gammarus orientalis (S. Karaman 1934).

Recently we observed that Dana (1852) already have been described one amphipod species as Gammarus orientalis , n. sp. from “Hab. in mari prope fretum Sunde”. By this way the species Gammarus orientalis (S. Karaman 1934) became “nomen preoccupatum” and we proposed a new name for it, Gammarus paraorientalis G. Kar. (new name) with type locality: Derbend, eastern side of Erdschias-dag [=Erciyas-dagi] in Asia Minor.
