The marine fauna of New Zealand : squat lobsters (crustacean, decapoda, chirostyloidea) / Kareen E. Schnabel

Summary:

"New Zealand species of squat lobsters (Superfamily Chirostyloidea) are presented in this work, which consid-ers and revises records spanning nearly 150 years of collections in the region (1874?2017). Prior to this study, 38 species from two of the four families of the Chirostyloidea were known from the New Zealand region. The New Zealand chirostyloid fauna now comprises 86 species in three families and eight genera, of which 26 species are new to science and 23 are new records. All available material is examined and listed, all species are illustrated, and diagnoses and keys are provided. A wider phylogenetic study of the group is under way but preliminary results of DNA barcoding are presented and discussed."-
