Abstract

Feeding behaviour of Epimeria robusta K.H. Barnard, 1930 (Paramphithoidae), Gnathiphimedia mandibularis K.H. Barnard, 1930 (Acanthonotozomatidae) and Paraceradocus gibber Andres, 1984 (Gammaridae) was observed in aquaria. The observations and the analysis of gut contents of preserved specimens demonstrate that these species have different feeding behaviour and food preferences. Additional information is given from an examination of the functional morphology of the mouth-parts. © 1990 Springer-Verlag.
