This study provides a checklist and discusses the
biogeographic relationships of the 12 species of
Stomatopoda (mantis shrimps) now known to occur on
Enewetak Atoll. Five species are widely distributed
throughout the Indo-West Pacific region, and three
species have somewhat more restricted ranges in the
Indo-West Pacific and Indian Ocean. Four species are
endemic to the Central Pacific (two to Enewetak), and
three taxa need further taxonomic investigation,

which

may demonstrate further endemism. Stomatopods from
Enewetak are dwarfed in body size compared to their
mainland relatives. Small size has strong consequences
for life history and evolutionary patterns in
stomatopods, and in particular is likely to generate
endemism. They provide information on the color patterns
of the stomatopods from Enewetak, showing which traits
are the most reliable indicators of species identity for
taxonomic and field research and which traits are most
likely to be influenced by body size, sex, or habitat.
Several anomalies in usually invariant color traits are
found in stomatopods from Aomon Island, which was closer
to sources of radiation from atomic testing than more
southern islands in the atoll. They also summarize what
is known about the habitat and fighting behavior of the
coral-dwelling mantis shrimps from Enewetak. for each of
the above topics, they identify or discuss all previous
literature on the stomatopods of Enewetak.
