| Abstract |
The collection of swimming crabs (Portunidae) from Singapore and its vicinity is quite large, but it seems not so difficult as other groups to deal with as a whole. All the species belong to the sub-family Lupinae, the groups Lupocycloida and Podophthalmoida each being represented by one species and the group Lupoida by twenty-six species. The majority of the Lupoida species are recorded also in the South China Sea but there is not a single one distributed to the North, showing that the Portunidae are more abundantly represented in the warmer regions than in the cooler. |
