Identification, Distribution, And Aspects Of The Biology Of Ten Anthuridean Isopod Species From The Shallow Continental Shelf Of The U.S. Gulf And East Coast, Brian Kensley

Gulf and Caribbean Research

With the aim of easing identification of continental shelf isopods, ten species of anthurideans, viz. Amakusanthura magnifica, Amakusanthura signata, Cyathura barbancki, Ptilanthura colpos, Ptilanthura tenuis, Hyssura bacescui, Kupellonura formosa, Neohyssura irpex, Xenanthura brevitelson, and Accalathura crenulata, are given brief diagnoses. A map showing the distribution of records, line figures illustrating diagnostic features, and a key to families, genera, and species are also provided.
