Amsterdam Expeditions to the West Indian Islands, Report 16. A representative of the mainly abyssal family Pardaliscidae (Crustacea, Amphipoda) in cave waters of the Caicos Islands

A new genus and species of Amphipoda is described from cave waters on Providenciales (Caicos Islands) as Spelaeonicippe provo. Another species belonging to the same new genus is known from a cave on Lanzarote (Canary Islands). The genus belongs to the Pardaliscidae, a predominantly bathyal/ abyssal family. A possible evolutionary scenario for both species is discussed.
