The Malacostraca, a very large class of Crustacea, is being dealt with in four volumes in the Zoological Catalogue of Australia series. Volume 19.3B covers more than 1200 species of Australian crabs (Brachyura) and related groups such as hermit crabs, porcelain crabs, squat lobsters, mole crabs, and their ilk (Anomura). It is the first such attempt to list the Australian fauna since 1882. All taxonomic groups down to families and subfamilies are fully diagnosed, and the latest literature discussing their status is reviewed and summarised, including genetic and larval studies where available.

The fourth Zoological Catalogue of Australia volume on Malacostracan Crustacea catalogues over 1200 species of amphipods (sea fleas, scuds and the beach and land hoppers), cumaceans and mysidaceans (opossum shrimps). This catalogue brings up-to-date taxonomy of all known species in the Australian fauna and is particularly important for the cumacean and mysidacean faunas which have not been previously catalogued. For each species there is information on primary synonymies, status and location of type material, type localities, general distribution and ecology. In addition, new diagnoses for all

Volume 19.2A presents valuable nomenclatural and biological facts on the syncarids, isopods, tanaidaceans and other minor peracarid orders of Crustacea known from Australia. It offers full taxonomic information for 89 families, 351 genera and 1076 described species, with the original literature as well as museum data on the type specimens. Each family introduction is accompanied by a line drawing of a representative species. The volume gives ready access to distributional details for all species known to occur in the Australian fauna, both inside and outside Australian waters, along with a sho
