XXIII.—A Revision of the British Idoteidæ, a Family of Marine Isopoda.

Published online by Cambridge University Press:  06 July 2012

Research Fellow of the University of St Andrews.

Extract

Many of the earlier accounts of the group of Crustacea, known as Isopoda, suffer from want of more detailed diagnoses and figures. To some extent this has been remedied during recent years by the authors of different monographs, but there are still many families which remain somewhat obscure, or only partially understood, owing to the above-mentioned cause. Such a family is the Idoteidæ.

In the present communication I propose to revise the diagnoses of the British genera and species, to set forth in greater detail than has hitherto been done their structure, illustrating the same, and to discuss the classification and affinities of the family as a whole.
