Extract

The characters widely used for identifying members of the Ampelisca diadema group of species (A. diadema, A. spinipes, A. tenuicornis and A. armoricana) are reassessed. Highly variable characters are discarded in favour of more stable ones. Both sexes of all four species known from the north-east Atlantic are figured and diagnoses and a key to the species are provided.
