Tropical Deep-Sea Benthos, a continuation of Résultats des Campagnes MUSORSTOM, is a series dedicated to the inventory and description of the deep-sea fauna of the world, with special emphasis on the most extensive, yet remote and least explored, region the Indo-West Pacific. The comprehensive series of marine expeditions undertaken by the French Muséum national d'Histoire naturelle and the Institut de Recherche pour le Développement (IRD) continue to collect many new, strange and sometimes colourful crustaceans. The present volume is dedicated to Alain Crosnier who passed away on 18 February 2021. Madagascar and more generally the South Western part of the Indian Ocean had a special place in his heart. From 1970 to 1976, he directed the ORSTOM Centre in Nosy Be in Madagascar where he explored the seabed to a depth of more than 1,000 m, thus discovering new resources and new species. The second part of his career was devoted to crustacean systematic and the exploration of the deep benthos of tropical areas. In addition to the deep-sea cruises, which he instigated for a long time, he deployed his visionary energy to organise the study of the collected specimens - by bringing specialists from all over the world to Paris - and to publish these results. In 1999, the «MUSORSTOM cruises» became Tropical Deep-Sea Benthos; the programme celebrated its 40th anniversary in 2016. This volume includes for the first-time results from recent expeditions in South West Indian Ocean and comprises descriptions and new occurrences for more than 350 species among crabs, shrimps, squat lobsters. Many are illustrated by spectacular colour images of freshly caught specimens. With 26 news species and two new genera described in this volume, it provides new knowledge on Crustaceans from South West Indian Ocean and conclusions about biogeography in this area are also presented here.

In 1999, the "MUSORSTOM cruises" became Tropical Deep-Sea Benthos; the programme celebrated its 40th anniversary in 2016. This second volume is a compilation of two major articles, on crustaceans Chirostylids and corals Stylasterids from the South-West Indian Ocean. In this volume, keys to species, descriptions, colour illustrations and drawings, maps and compilation of species occurrences as well as descriptions of new species are provided at the regional scale. With a total of 85 new species, i.e. 60 new species of Chirostylids and 25 new species of Stylasterids, this volume provides new knowledge on crustaceans and corals from the South-West Indian Ocean and conclusions about biogeography in this area are also presented in this volume.

Tropical Deep-Sea Benthos, a continuation of Résultats des Campagnes MUSORSTOM, is a series dedicated to the inventory and description of the deep-sea fauna of the world, with special emphasis on the most extensive, yet remote and least explored, region - the Indo-West Pacific. The comprehensive series of marine expeditions undertaken by the French Muséum national d'Histoire naturelle and the Institut de Recherche pour le Développement (IRD) continue to collect many new, strange and sometimes colourful crustaceans. The present volume includes for the first-time results from recent expeditions off and Papua New Guinea. Papua New Guinea always had a special place in the heart of marine biologists. Firstly, but barely explored during the expedition of the Challenger (1875), deep-sea fauna from Papua New Guinea remained a gap of knowledge until the recent series of expeditions launched by MNHN: Biopapua (2010), Papua Niugini (2012), Madeep (2014) and Kavieng (2014). From the amazing sampling of benthic fauna, the international network of naturalists and taxonomists, federated around the Tropical Deep-Sea Benthos program, has described since 2012, more than 258 new species of molluscs, fishes, sea-spiders, corals and crustaceans. This special PNG volume comprises descriptions and new occurrences for more than 360 species including cirripeds, crabs, armoured shrimps, ghost shrimps and squat lobsters. Many are illustrated by spectacular colour images of freshly caught specimens. With 44 new species of crustaceans described in this volume, more than 300 new marine species will have been discovered around Papua New Guinea and its satellite islands.

Tropical Deep-Sea Benthos, a continuation of Résultats des Campagnes MUSORSTOM, is a series dedicated to the inventory and description of the deep-sea fauna of the world, with special emphasis on the most extensive, yet remote and least explored, region - the Indo-West Pacific. The comprehensive series of marine expeditions undertaken by the French Muséum national d'Histoire naturelle and the Institut de Recherche pour le Développement (IRD) continue to collect many new, strange and sometimes colourful crustaceans. The present volume includes for the first time results from recent expeditions off Mozambique, South Madagascar, and Papua New Guinea. Research on this expedition material rests on a worldwide network of carcinologists at the front lines of taxonomic research. Indeed, the list of authors of Tropical Deep-Sea Benthos volume 27 reads like a "who's who" of crustacean biodiversity research. Altogether, the volume comprises descriptions and new occurrences for more than 200 species, of which 27 are new species, including cirripeds, crabs, prawns, amoured shrimps, lobsters, squat lobsters, and hermit crabs. Many are illustrated by spectacular colour images of freshly caught species. de Forges et al.: The MUSORSTOM-TDSB deep sea Benthos exporation programme (1976-2012): An overview of crustacean discoveries and new perspectives on deep-sea zoology and biogeography.
