  <dc:description xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">Pectenogammarus planicrurus presence record from Sussex. 
 
 This species of amphipod was described by Reid (1940) as a new species of Gammarus. Pectenogammarus was erected as a sub-genus, subsequently to be raised to the rank of genus (Reid 1944). Reid found the species to be plentiful 'under stones near high-water mark on the chalky shores of the south coast of England'. The type locality at Saltdean is a gently sloping shore of solid chalk. P. planicrurus was found amongst flint shingle, which was restricted to a level near high-water mark.</dc:description>
