Records of Crabs (Crustacea, Decapoda, Brachyura) from the Northern South China Sea off Hong Kong and Taiwan Collected by the RV Hakuho Maru (KH-73-2 Cruise)

摘要

Crabs collected from the northern South China Sea by the RV Hakuho Maru during her KH-73-2 cruise were studied. All the specimens collected were not always brought to the National Museum of Nature and Science, Tokyo, but the results of the identification of the preserved specimens, viz. 15 species of 9 families, will contribute to the knowledge of the carcinolog-ical fauna of the northern South China Sea. Some poorly known species are taxonomically noted, with photographs.
