Review (by Malcolm Storey)

There is at least one line-drawing and a black and white photograph of every species included.

Examine with x8 or x10 hand lens
Specimen PreparationDead specimens or shed shells.
Identification difficultyThe key is difficult to use and requires familiarity with crustacean terminology.
