Myung-Hwa Shin I wanna this !!! I need some specimens of A. tarasovi, to get DNA sequences. I heard from one of colleague in Russia, this species is common in Russian water. If someone has any idea, please tell me How I can get the specimens.

Natalia L. Demchenko Budnikova L.L., Bezrukov R.G. Amphipods (Amphipoda, Gammaridea) of the Peter the Great Bay (Sea of Japan): taxonomical composition, abundance and zonal-geographical characteristics // Scientific Readings dedicated to Academician Oleg G. Kussakin. Vladivostok: Dalnauka, 2008. P. 6-49. (In Russian)

Natalia L. Demchenko it is the reference where there is a note about A. tarasovi. The species inhabits at depths 0-9 m in the Peter the Great Bay according to literature.

Myung-Hwa Shin Thanks Natalia Do you know e-mail of the authors of the paper? I cann't find the paper...

Natalia L. Demchenko I didn't find this species, but there is in catalog in the Museum of our Institute. Collections were preserved in formalin. So, for genetics it is needed fixation in alcohol only

Myung-Hwa Shin yes... to gen any DNA from specimens, we need fresh materials preserved in alcohol.

Myung-Hwa Shin I tried to get DNA from old specimens preserved in formalin.... but I couldn't get any one...

Natalia L. Demchenko I will search more about distribution of this species

Myung-Hwa Shin I hope.... I will get good news from you

Natalia L. Demchenko did you find this species in South Korea?

Myung-Hwa Shin not yet... I think identification of the species is not easy...

Natalia L. Demchenko I agree that identification of Ampithoe species is difficult

Myung-Hwa Shin I reported A. tarasovi from Korea in 2010, but I found Korean specimen and Russian specimen had different morphological features... little...

Natalia L. Demchenko According to work of N.L. Tzvetkova and V.A. Kudrjashov "On the fauna and ecology of gammarids (Amphipoda, Gammaridea) and biocoenoses of the upper parts of the shelf of the south Sakhalin", A. tarasovi was found in kelps of Sargassum miyabei, Ulva fenestrata, Phyllospadix iwatensis, Zostera marina, Zostera asiatica and so on...Also on settelments of mollusks Crassostrea gigas

Natalia L. Demchenko where did you found species cf.A. tarasovi in south Korea?

Myung-Hwa Shin East-southern part of Korea, and Southern part

Natalia L. Demchenko on which substrates or biotopes?

Myung-Hwa Shin I collected among algae as Ulva

Natalia L. Demchenko so, not only Bulycheva registered and described this species. I am sure that there are another findings of A. tarasovi. I just found 2 references...

Myung-Hwa Shin I had two references of Bulycheva, 1952 and Tzvetkova, 1967.
