Excerpt from Cirolanidae (Crustacea: Isopoda: Flabellifera) Of the Tropical Eastern PacificWe give complete synonymies except where recent monographs have already done so. In the latter case, we provide synonymies subsequent to (and often expanding upon) the cited reference. Species descriptions are based on primary type material, with supplemental data (i. E., polymorphism) from other material exam ined. Primary types of most species are illustrated, and, for some, additional (pacific) specimens are also figured. Some older type material is damaged, with obviously missing spines, setae, etc. Body measurements and ranges are based on all material examined.

Taxa are treated in alphabetical order within each higher taxon. Localities listed under Material Examined are ordered from north to south and numbered sequentially. The species lists for each genus are updated from Bruce (l986a).About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
