- Abstract
The article discusses a study on the existence of Herbstia Nitida Manning and Holthius (Decapoda, Brachyura) in a submarine cave in southeastern Italy. It says that Grotta di Cicolo, a shallow marine cave was explored by scuba divers in 2002 to collect vagile fauna samples wherein all decapoda collected was identified through stereomicroscope. Moreover, the similarity between Herbstia Nitida with Herbstia Condyliata might have been the reason why its has been overlooked in the past studies.
