Key For The Identification Of Mediterranean Brachyuran Megalopae
Mediterranean Marine Science, 2004 Based on larval literature, an identification key has been constructed for the megalopae of 55 species of Mediterranean Brachyura. This key is based mainly on external morphological characteristics visible, by using a microscope, limiting the necessity for dissection of specimens.
