Al-Yamani F. Y., Al-Kandari M., Polikarpov I., Grintsov V. Field Guide of Order Amphipoda (Malacostraca, Crustacea) of Kuwait. - Kuwait : Kuwait Institute for Scientific Research, 2019. - 384 p.

The guidebook on the amphipods of Kuwait’s marine environment provides detailed information about the representatives of the taxonomic class Malacostraca, obtained during the extensive investigations of intertidal and subtidal areas along Kuwait’s coasts during 2012-2016. The guide contains the descriptions of sampling methods and laboratory procedures for the identification of amphipods and provides information about their morphology and taxonomically important features of their body parts. All of the species included in this guide are illustrated by colored photographs, and the descriptions of most species are supplemented with scientific drawing notes. A total of 73 species of the order Amphipoda were identified and included in the guidebook. Of these, 60 species are considered to be new records for Kuwait and 55 species are recorded for the first time for the Arabian Gulf, whereas 19 species are considered as the first description of the new for science species. This first amphipod guide is not exhaustive nor unalterable as some new species are expected to be added to the taxonomic list of Amphipoda of Kuwait during future studies, especially in subtidal habitats. However, this book gives valuable background information about the taxonomic variability of this important order of crustaceans and makes available the basic methods for studying amphipod taxonomy, which will be helpful to students and researchers.
