Five previously undescribed species are included, three of which are formally named and described: Metacirolana costaricensis n. sp., Rocinela murilloi n. sp., and Cyalhura guarocnsis n. sp. A general overview of oceanographic aspects of Pacific Costa Rican waters is given, as well as a brief review of biological studies that have been published concerning Costa Rican shores. An introduction to the anatomy and general biology of isopods is presented, which includes a somewhat detailed discussion of head appendages.
