An independently derived, blind, cave-dwelling amphipod, Minamitalitrus zoltani gen. nov., sp. nov. is described from
the Hoshino-do cave on the island on Minami–Daito jima, Okinawa, Japan. This genus belongs to the Talitrus group of
15 genera and is the first record of the group from Japan. Several characters support the new genus, particularly the reduced
biramous pleopods.
