Notes on the Tanaidacea (Crustacea: Peracarida) of the Angola Basin
AbstractIn July 2000 the DIVA-1 Expedition collected deep-water benthos (5125–5449m) in the Angola Basin, South Atlantic Ocean. The tanaidacean material is composed of 434 individuals with a body length between 1.2 and 12mm. Sixty-eight species, belonging to 10 families were found.

Redescription of three cirolanid isopods (Crustacea: Peracarida) from Indonesia
Three species of Cirolanidae described by Nierstrasz in 1931 are redescribed from the type material: Cirolana indica Nierstrasz, 1931, with new material from Singapore and Lombok Island, Indonesia; C. vanhoeffeni Nierstrasz, 1931; and C. stebbingi Nierstrasz, 1931, which is here transferred to the genus Politolana Bruce, 1981 based on the elongate body,

Shallow water caprellids (Crustacea: Amphipoda) of Azores and Madeira [PDF]
The species composition and vertical distribution of caprellids associated to hard bottoms (mainly hydroids and algae) were studied from 0 to 41 m deep in Azores and Madeira. The highest caprellid densities were measured between 0 and 10 m.
