This module contains 19 tables that belong to chapter 23 of the main text, Brachyura larvae. These tables allow identification of South Atlantic brachyuran species in the larval stages, including first zoea and megalopa. The tables have been placed in a separate module in order to retain the original complex editing.
Below is a list of brachyuran species recorded from the South Atlantic, but excluding species that are endemic to
the SE Atlantic. Species marked with an asterisk (*) were not recorded along the Brazilian coast. This
list is based on Williams (1984), Boschi et al. (1992), Zolessi and Philippi (1995), Carmona and Conde
(1996), Martins and D'Incao (1996), Melo (1996), and recent additions (Rodrigues and Silva, 1998;
Sankarankutti and Ferreira, 2000). Species in bold are SW Atlantic species of brachyuran crabs with
known larval development and dealt with in this volume either as zoea or megalopa or both (see also
Table 14). Geographical and depth distributions are omitted from the original Table 1; see for those
details the species description field.
