This book presents a summary of the present
ideas on the world amphipod fauna of the
suborder Hyperiidea. The general part
includes a description of the suborder and
notes on the taxonomy and phylogeny of
the Hyperiidea. Special features of their
morphology are briefly considered and
patterns of vertical and geographic distri-
bution discussed. A correlation has been
shown between the vertical distribution
and latitudinal area of distribution for various
taxonomic groups of Hyperiidea and also
the common features and differences among
the hyperiidean fauna of different oceans.
The taxonomic part contains diagnoses
and keys to the suborder Hyperiidea, relating
to 23 families, 72 genera, and 233 species.
Detailed descriptions are given, particularly
for those families posing the maximum
difficulty for identification. Descriptions are
accompanied by illustrations which, for the
most part, are original.
227 bibliographic entries, 256 illus-
trations, and 12 tables.
