Abstract

Four new Gulf of Mexico records and nine geographic range extensions of peracarid crustaceans within the Gulf are presented for the southwestern Gulf of Mexico. The new records were obtained from plankton samples collected in the inlets of three Mexican coastal lagoons: Río Soto la Marina, Tamaulipas; Camaronera Lagoon, Veracruz and Términos Lagoon, Campeche. The new records include seven amphipod species (Caprella penantis, Gammaropsis atlantica, Monocorophium insidiosum, Hartmanodes nyei, Metaharpinia floridana, Westwoodilla sp., Parametopella texensis), one cumacean (Cyclaspis sp.) and five isopods (Excorallana berbicensis, Anilocra abudefdufi, Sphaeroma walkeri, Armadilloniscus sp., Erichsonella attenuata).
