Abstract
Only eight groundwater crustacean species were known in India till the end of 20th century. Analysis of about 4000 samples collected during 2000-2016 from diverse groundwater habitats, especially in certain pockets of the deltaic belt of the Rivers Krishna and Godavari in the southeastern peninsular India, has so far yielded about 90 new crustacean taxa. Of these, 67 new species have been described formally, which include, respectively, 34, 27, 3, 2 and 1 species each of Copepoda, Bathynellacea, Amphipoda, Isopoda and Ostracoda. The updated checklist presented herein includes a total of 87 species in 45 genera, 22 families and 8 orders. For each species, the reference to its original description, type locality, distribution, and ecological notes, co-occurring fauna, if any, and sampling method(s) are given. Besides map-pointing the type localities of the species, brief notes are given on the biogeography and conservation.
Zusammenfassung
Bis zum Ende des 20. Jahrhunderts waren in Indien nur 8 Arten von im Grundwasser lebenden Krebstieren bekannt. Die Untersuchung von etwa 4000 Proben, die zwischen den Jahren 2000 und 2016 bei der Beprobung verschiedener Grundwasserhabitate angefallen sind, insbesondere an bestimmten Stellen der Deltazone der beiden Flüsse Krishna und Godavari, hat bis heute etwa 90 neue Crustaceentaxa erbracht. Von diesen sind inzwischen 67 neue Arten beschrieben worden, von denen 34 Arten zu den Copepoda, 27 zu den Bathynellacea, 3 zu den Amphipoda, 2 zu den Isopoda und 1 Art zu den Ostracoda gehören. Die hier vorgelegte Checkliste umfasst insgesamt 87 Arten in 45 Gattungen, 22 Familien und 8 Ordnungen. Für jede Art werden folgende Angaben gemacht: Originalbeschreibung, Typusfundort, Verbreitung und ökologische Bemerkungen, Sammelmethoden und Begleitfauna sofern vorhanden. Außer der Präsentation von Karten mit den Typusfundorten der Arten werden abschließend einige Betrachtungen zu Schutz und Biogeographie der hier behandelten Fauna angestellt.

Abstract
Only eight groundwater crustacean species were known in India till the end of 20th century. Analysis of about 4000 samples collected during 2000-2016 from diverse groundwater habitats, especially in certain pockets of the deltaic belt of the Rivers Krishna and Godavari in the southeastern peninsular India, has so far yielded about 90 new crustacean taxa. Of these, 67 new species have been described formally, which include, respectively, 34, 27, 3, 2 and 1 species each of Copepoda, Bathynellacea, Amphipoda, Isopoda and Ostracoda. The updated checklist presented herein includes a total of 87 species in 45 genera, 22 families and 8 orders. For each species, the reference to its original description, type locality, distribution, and ecological notes, co-occurring fauna, if any, and sampling method(s) are given. Besides map-pointing the type localities of the species, brief notes are given on the biogeography and conservation.
Zusammenfassung
Bis zum Ende des 20. Jahrhunderts waren in Indien nur 8 Arten von im Grundwasser lebenden Krebstieren bekannt. Die Untersuchung von etwa 4000 Proben, die zwischen den Jahren 2000 und 2016 bei der Beprobung verschiedener Grundwasserhabitate angefallen sind, insbesondere an bestimmten Stellen der Deltazone der beiden Flüsse Krishna und Godavari, hat bis heute etwa 90 neue Crustaceentaxa erbracht. Von diesen sind inzwischen 67 neue Arten beschrieben worden, von denen 34 Arten zu den Copepoda, 27 zu den Bathynellacea, 3 zu den Amphipoda, 2 zu den Isopoda und 1 Art zu den Ostracoda gehören. Die hier vorgelegte Checkliste umfasst insgesamt 87 Arten in 45 Gattungen, 22 Familien und 8 Ordnungen. Für jede Art werden folgende Angaben gemacht: Originalbeschreibung, Typusfundort, Verbreitung und ökologische Bemerkungen, Sammelmethoden und Begleitfauna sofern vorhanden. Außer der Präsentation von Karten mit den Typusfundorten der Arten werden abschließend einige Betrachtungen zu Schutz und Biogeographie der hier behandelten Fauna angestellt.
