The influence of land barriers on the evolution of 50 species of pontoniine shrimps, living in association with molluscs and solitary ascidians, is studied. The interplay between the biological characteristics of the shrimps in the Atlantic/East Pacifi c area resulted in a biogeographical pattern best explained by a series of vicariance events. Distributional pattern in the Indo-West Pacifi c shows a centre of maximum diversity in eastern Indonesia, the Philippines, and New Guinea. This can be explained by the overlap of Asian, Pacifi c, and Australian distribuion ranges and/or the accumulation of inwardly directed, convergent dispersal, of peripheral originated species.
