Résumé du livre
The Royal Society Expedition to Southern Chile 1958-59 collected 23 species of marine decapod Crustacea in the general areas of Isla Chiloé (42° S.), Puerto Edén on Isla Wellington (49° S.), and Isla Navarino (55° S.). Included are two species of Macrura, seven species of Anomura, and 14 species of Brachyura. The 14 species from Chiloé are reported for the first time from the outer coast of that island. Protandrous hermaphroditism is recorded in the macruran genus Chorismus. The phenomena accompanying latitudinal change are discussed.
