for the eastern tropical Pacific, maybe it might be crucial to have also
the papers of Jean Bouillon, who described many new species from the
Pacific (he doubled the number of species from the insular Pacific). Let
me say, furthermore, that keys are a dangerous tool in the hands of those
who do not know the animals in question. A key specialist (who got a
millionaire project from the European Union to build keys for plants) said
to me that he was proud of having identified 8 out of 10 species of algae
from the Adriatic sea (he is a specialist of lichens, and not of algae).
Now, this means that out of 400 species of hydrozoans in the
Mediterranean, he would fail identifying 80 of them. You can imagine the
performance of a non-specialist of keys and of any group in particular!
be very very careful. There is a mountain of literature to study!
