world catalogue and bibliography of the recent pycnogonida

How to use this catalogue in your Computer
To look for a certain species with the search function of
"Word Perfect", you should consider the following hints:
1. Typewrite the complete name of the species you are
looking for without the name of the author and date of the
year. Ignore subgenera, subspecies and varieties. With this
method you should be able to locate a certain species, even
when only an older name is available to you. Unfortunately one
is sometimes confronted with erronous assignments of species.
To avoid such problems I suggest to use for determinations only
the most recent literature.
2. To locate certain countries use only the current name,
i.e. Sri Lanka instead of Ceylon, Taiwan instead of Formosa. I
found it to costly in this catalogue to summarize in each case
the species known from a certain country, because many species
are widely distributed in the Indo-Pacific and cannot be
assigned to a certain country, particularly when they have been
caught offshore.
