Delta keys to Squat Lobster Identification
The Delta* databases available below are in TEST phase. Ultimately we intend that they will have a permanent home at the World Register of Marine Species. For further information regarding these databases please contact Dr. Anna McCallum amccall@museum.vic.gov.au. Your feedback is welcome.
Select the key to families and genera or the the generic database you wish to download.Use the alphabet to shortcut to the genus you require.
2019 updates:
Dynamic links to Delta ".ink" files are temporarily broken on this server. These are being reinstated as time permits, but as .zip files. After downloading these files, unzip to an appropriate folder then run "intkey.ink" within this folder. If you require a Delta key with a broken link, please email rwilson@museum.vic.gov.au to have that key reinstated
