Abstract
Due to the transfer of a private collection of Thalassinidea - a group of mainly burrowing decapods - the number of species in the collection of the Museum of Natural History in Vienna has been increased by 17 species to a total of 52.A re-examination of the material already present in the collection made it necessary to correct some identifications or adapt them according to our recent knowledge of the taxonomy of this group.Eight formerly unidentified species belonged to now described species, among them one species of the rare genus Ctenocheles.Details on their biology of some of the better known species is given.In addition, certain poorly documented species are now figured.
