Family
CIROLANIDAE Dana, 1852
Remarks
. There have been no recent revisions of the
Cirolanidae
for the tropical Western Atlantic. The only comprehensive accounts are the now dated monograph
The Isopods of North America
(
Richardson 1905: 81–137
), and the more recent Caribbean field guide by
Kensley & Schotte (1989)
is also relevant. For identification of marine cirolanids recourse is still to the primary literature and databases such as WoRMS.
