Description:
Burrington Baker (1924) states that Cura\xc3\xa7ao can be divided into three distinct faunal areas. Stock (1977) mentions the occurrence of three subspecies of hadziid amphipods almost exclusively confined to different parts of Cura\xc3\xa7ao. The results of a study of the distribution on this island of various subspecies of the gastropods Cerion uva, Brachypodella raveni, Tudora megacheilos and T. rupis, however, do not support the hypothesis of a tripartite Cura\xc3\xa7ao.
