| | This set contains two volumes from the award-winning Zoological Catalogue of Australia series. Together these volumes provide a wealth of taxonomic and biological information on the Australian malacostracan Crustacea other than members of the superorders Pericarida and Syncarida.
Volume 19.3A covers the commercially important shrimps, prawns, lobsters and yabbies, listing over 1200 species known from Australian waters (including Australian Territorial waters). Volume 19.3B details more than 1200 species of Australian crabs (Brachyura) and related groups such as hermit crabs, porcelain crabs, squat lobsters, mole crabs and their ilk (Anomura).
Each species is cited by name, and original references are given to all species known from Australian waters. The volumes outline distribution of species both inside and outside of Australian waters and hence are widely applicable to nations bordering the Indian and Pacific oceans. | |
