"Available specimens of the large squillid Harpiosquilla from the collections of the Australian Museum, Sydney, and the Division of Crustacea, National Museum of Natural History, Smithsonian Institution, show that the genus comprises seven species; three of these species are newly described. The species of Harpiosquilla occur throughout the Indo-West Pacific region, from Japan and Australia westward to the Red Sea and South Africa; some species, particularly H. annandalei, H. harpax, and H. raphidea are widely distributed in the region whereas others, including H. indica, new species (India), H. japonica, new species (Japan), and H. stephensoni, new species (Australia), exhibit more limited distribution patterns. All available literature is summarized, and the descriptive accounts are accompanied by notes on biology, development, and distribution."
