"Descripção de algumas especies novas ou pouco conhecidas de crustaceos" by Capello is a scientific publication written in the mid-19th century. The book focuses on the description of new or lesser-known species of crustaceans and arachnids found in Portugal and its overseas possessions. The author seeks to document these species to enhance the existing zoological knowledge and to provide a structure for future research in the field. In the book, Capello meticulously details various new crustacean and arachnid species, providing descriptions of their physical characteristics, habitats, and the circumstances under which they were discovered. Each species is presented with comprehensive scientific nomenclature, and the author includes illustrations to aid in identification. The text emphasizes the importance of documenting these species for scientific records, especially those that may have been overlooked or previously unidentified, contributing to the broader understanding of the biodiversity present in Portuguese territories.
