?Biological observations in organisms found on artificial substrates. Caleta Leandro, Talcahuano, Chile III. Pagurus villosus Nicolet, 1849?
Preliminary information about the breeding season of oviferous females of Pagurus villosus, from Caleta Leandro (36°38?36?S; 73°05?25?W) is given. The paper is based on the examination of more than 30.000 specimens which were captured between January 1969 and November 1971, as they invaded sublittorally submerged wooden-cages. Information on epibiontes on the snail shells Nassarius (Hima) gayi occupied by P. villosus is also given.
