臺灣蟹型異尾類誌(蟬蟹、石蟹及瓷蟹)

本誌共整理出臺、澎、金、馬的蟬蟹2科4屬12種，石蟹1科3屬6種，瓷蟹1科11屬40種，包含有臺灣新記錄的8種蟬蟹、6種瓷蟹和1種臺灣特有的石蟹，但有兩種瓷蟹目前只有記錄於金、馬而仍未在臺灣本島發現。本誌中每種皆提有供型態描述、重要特徵線繪圖和檢索等，大部分種類（9種蟬蟹、全部石蟹和37種瓷蟹）亦附有彩色標本照以利參考鑑別。(The catalog is divided into three chapters according to the different groups and by different authors. In total, 12 species in four genera of hippoids, six species in three genera of lithodoids, and 40 species in 11 genera of porcellanids are included in this catalog. Two porcellanid species are still only known from the Taiwan Strait and not yet from Taiwan proper. On the other hand, the species in this catalog include 14 new Taiwan records (eight for hippoids and six for porcellanids). The numbers of porcellanid and hippoid species now found in Taiwan are about 1/6 and 1/7 of the world’s species, respectively. However, the lithodoid fauna of Taiwan comprises only about 5% of the world’s species. Nevertheless, one lithodoid is presently known only from Taiwan and there are no Taiwanese endemics among porcellanids or hippoids. It is likely that more species of these three anomuran groups will be discovered from Taiwan with more extensive collecting efforts. A total of 307 species of anomurans are now known from Taiwan (McLaughlin et al., 2007; Osawa & Chan, 2008, 2009; Baba et al., 2009; present catalog), which comprises about 1/8 of the 2470 species reported worldwide (De Grave et al., 2009). )
