Studies on stomatopod Crustacea from the Indian River region of Florida. II. An annotated check list of the mantis shrimps of the central eastern Florida coast

The stomatopod crustaceans, or mantis shrimps, arc a large, variable, and distinctive component in the tropical western Atlantic fauna. Although published records indicate that at least 20 species may occur along the central eastern Florida coast (e.g., Manning, 1969), there has been, as yet, no comprehensive survey of stomatopod crustaceans in the region.
