An illustrated Atlas of the deep crustacean fauna of French Polynesia. Photographs have been taken during the oceanographic cruises of the French vessel ‘Marara' operating around Polynesian Islands between 1986-1996. A total of 154 shrimps, lobsters, hermit crabs and crabs are photographed. The specimens have been caught in depths ranging from 10 to about 1000 m, using baited traps and dredges. They are deposited in the collections of the Muséum national d'Histoire naturelle, Paris. 71 species have been described as new species from this research.
