Etymology.
The specific name honors Mr Ryu Uchiyama (nature photographer), who provided many photos of living amphipods throughout
KT's
amphipodological study.
Distribution and habitat.
This species is known from Iki and Fukue Islands, Nagasaki Prefecture. The specimens were collected from river mouths subject to tidal action. An ovigerous female was collected in March.
Remarks.
Jesogammarus uchiyamaryui
is morphologically similar to
Jesogammarus ikiensis
Tomikawa, 2015 in having 1) dorsal margin of pereonites 5-7 without setae, 2) a few (<4) setae on dorsal margin of pleonites 1-3, 3) large eyes, robust seta on posterodistal corner of peduncular article 1 of antenna 1, and 4) mandibular palp article 1 without robust setae. However,
Jesogammarus uchiyamaryui
differs from
Jesogammarus ikiensis
by the following features (features of
Jesogammarus ikiensis
in parentheses): 1) posterior margin of peduncular article 2 of antenna 1 with two (three or four) setae, 2) accessory lobes of coxal gills on gnathopod 2 and pereopods 3-5 short and straight (long and curved), 3) ventral margins of coxae of female gnathopods 1 and 2 and pereopod 3 with numerous long setae (a few short setae), and 4) inner ramus of uropod 3 shorter than 0.2 (0.2-0.3) times as long as outer ramus.
Jesogammarus uchiyamaryui
is also similar to
Jesogammarus spinopalpus
Morino, 1985 in having 1) short accessory lobes of coxal gills on gnathopod 2 and pereopods 3-5 and 2) densely setose ventral margins of coxae of female gnathopods 1 and 2. However, the former differs from the latter by the following features (features of
Jesogammarus spinopalpus
in parentheses): 1) eyes large (small), 2) dorsal margins of pleonites 1-3 each with two setae (numerous), 3) the mandibular palp article 1 without robust setae (present), 4) inner ramus of uropod 3 shorter than 0.2 times as long as outer ramus (longer than 0.3), and 5) posterior margin of bases of female pereopods 5-7 with short (long) setae.

Molecular phylogenies
The BI tree (mean ln L = −8918.44; Fig. 15) had an almost identical topology to that of the ML tree (ln L = −9156.46; not shown). The monophyly of the genus
Jesogammarus
was well-supported (BS = 100%, PP = 1.0). The genus
Jesogammarus
consisted of three monophyletic lineages:
Jesogammarus uchiyamaryui
lineage (BS = 100%, PP = 1.0), the
subgenus Annanogammarus
lineage (BS = 100%, PP = 1.0), and the
subgenus Jesogammarus
lineage (BS = 99%, PP = 1.0). However, our phylogenetic analyses failed to resolve precise the phylogenetic relationships among these three lineages.
Figure 15. Bayesian inference tree for 1,499 bp of nuclear 28S rRNA and mitochondrial COI and 16S rRNA markers. Numbers on nodes represent bootstrap values for maximum likelihood and Bayesian posterior probabilities.
The monophyly of the four species within the
Annanogammarus
lineage inhabiting Japan was well supported (BS = 94%, PP = 1.0). The
Jesogammarus
lineage comprised four subclades; however, the detailed phylogenetic relationships among these four lineages remain unresolved. The first subclade (BS = 100%, PP = 1.0) contains the Chinese
Jesogammarus hebeiensis
and
Jesogammarus spinopalpus
from the Boso Peninsula on Honshu, Japan (locality #12 in Fig. 1). The second subclade (BS = 91%, PP = 0.99) comprised
Jesogammarus hinumensis
Morino, 1993 inhabiting brackish habitats of Japan and
Jesogammarus ikiensis
from Iki Island. The third lineage (BS = 100%, PP = 1.0) included Japanese
Jesogammarus mikadoi
Tomikawa, Morino & Mawatari, 2003 and four species defined as the
Jesogammarus jesoensis
complex by Tomikawa et al (2016): the monophyly of the
Jesogammarus jesoensis
complex was well-supported (BS = 97%, PP = 1.0).
Jesogammarus paucistulosus
and
Jesogammarus bousfieldi
formed the last subclade (BS = 98%, PP = 1.0).
Jesogammarus paucistulosus
and
Jesogammarus bousfieldi
formed a well-supported clade (BS = 100%, PP = 1.0; respectively). The
Jesogammarus paucistulosus
specimens were divided into two lineages: individuals collected from the southern part of Ibaraki Prefecture (#10, 11) formed a well-supported lineage (BS = 100%, PP = 1.0), and the remainder inhabiting the northern part of Ibaraki (#8) formed the other well-supported clade (BS = 100%, PP = 1.0). The
Jesogammarus bousfieldi
specimens were also split into two lineages. Individuals from Mamurogawa (#3) formed a well-supported clade (BS = 100%, PP = 1.0), while the other amphipods inhabiting the southern part of Yamagata Prefecture (#5, 6) grouped with a monophyletic lineage (BS = 100%, PP = 0.99).
