FAUNA PARAGUAY CRUSTACEA
THIS PAGE IS IN CONSTRUCTION

We are just beginning with the study of invertebrates in Paraguay and will soon start an extensive inventory of the bivalves. We do however desperately need the assistance of an expert willing to help us identify the images - obviously we understand that identification to species level will not always be possible from a photograph, but if you are willing to give it a go please contact us!
