Abstract
Seventy-four species of gammaridean (nine undescribed) and four species of caprellidean amphipods are reported from estuarine waters of North Carolina. The range ofGrandidierella bonnieroides is extended northward and that ofAmpithoe valida, Argissa hamatipes andCorophium insidiosum is extended southward. Notes on habitats and zoogeography are included, as well as a key to identification. Most species occurring in North Carolina belong to an assemblage ranging from Cape Cod to northeastern Florida. Cape Hatteras does represent a significant faunistic boundary to estuarine amphipod species.Keywords
