The zoogeographic distribution of lophogastrid species (Crustacea: Peracarida: lophogastrida) occurring in the Indonesian waters is presented. For each species, data on general distribution, bathymetric ranges, habitat and localities reported on published

Taxonomic species are the best standardised metric of biodiversity. Therefore, there is broad scientific and public interest in how many species have already been named and how many more may exist. Crustaceans comprise about 6% of all named animal species

The present study provides a zoogeographic and faunistic update on the cumacean species that inhabit the soft substrate habitats of the Israeli waters of the Mediterranean Sea. Published and new unpublished cumacean records are both used to enable an
