New Information- Species Update This page includes new information supplied by users as well as that gleaned from the literature as we find it. This is a supplement to information already found in Zooplankton of the Gulf and Atlantic Coasts. Please alert us to any errors or omissions. To Submit New Information Name and Classification Changes Marsh crabs in the genus Sesarma: When this genus was revised in 1992, only one of the two species that are included Zooplankton of the Gulf and Atlantic was removed from Sesarma and placed into the new genus Armases. The treatment on pp. 222 and 223 is incorrect in that regard. It should be Armases cinereum and Sesarma reticulatum. Thanks to David Knott at Southeastern Regional Taxonomic Center, Charleston, SC for the correction. Reference: Abele, L. G. 1992. A review of the Grapsid crab genus Sesarma (Crustacea: Decapoda: Grapsidae) in America, with the description of a new genus.
