New Records of Isopods from the Indian River Lagoon, Florida (Crustacea: Peracarida)

Résumé du livre

Fifteen species of isopod are recorded for the first time as occurring in the Indian River Lagoon. Two species are described as new: the janirid asellote Iais floridana, n. sp., which occurs commensally with Sphaeroma terebrans in low salinity water, and the sphaeromatid flabelliferan Sphaeromopsis sanctaluciae, n. sp., which is also recorded from the Orange River, Lee County, Florida, and from Islas de Juventud, Cuba. A brief discussion of protogyny in the sphaeromatid Paradella dianae is included.
